    Hey guys,

    I used to be on here a few years ago but seem to have forgotten my password so I had to create a new account.


    Anyways, I moved and had to leave my bike behind so it has sat since the summer of 2014. I just recently took a trip home and got it back (and got a 75 CB750 for free too!) and tore into the carbs today. I was hopping to get away with just cleaning them, but found some of the fuel transfer tubes (the ones between the carbs) need new gaskets, pilot jets were black with gunk, and a few solid enrichment plunger rubbers. That combined with all the other crap inside, im not gonna risk the frustration and just rebuild them.

    On top of all that I'm gonna have to check the valves, do an oil change, new carb boots and check the brakes and I should be back on the road for next summer.

    My only question is; is Len still the guy to get parts from?????
