So, tonight I ripped it all apart again. Engine out, front end off... Down to the frame and wiring. Not at home tonight so can't put up pics but it's nothing too exciting... I need to figure out how I'm going to repaint the frame, my options are: paint gun, spray paint, or send for powder...
She's far from done, winter has shut me down! No heated shop to work from. The project and pics will return with the warmer weather... Got it running before winter hit, so its going to come right apart again in the spring and I'll get it painted where it needs paint...
You'll see when the pics...
Lol, I'm still using the ones that didn't break, just everything it torqued to the lowest spec now...
I'll keep that in mind for later, but if I can clean up the frankenstein I might just keep it... The 30A minis are much more available...
Update:
1 -First start video is up...
Def going to sort out my oil leak... As for the wiring... Hmm... I have no idea what challenges lie ahead in regards to wiring... I'll have to cross that bridge when I get there...
Successful night on the CB750... The mother effer runs!!! Feels pretty good to make that happen after 15 years of rotting... It runs pretty crappy but it runs... I need to figure out how to post a video, but I will once I do...
About it running... It fired right up after the carbs filled with...
Thanks, I'll keep them pics and posts coming!
They're all marked alphabetically, also I kept the dowels and bolts in their original positions too... I got some replacement OEM honda bolts from work, they're a few threads shorter but same grade bolts... Should be alright to use them...
So, started off with the good news of the plug coming out and having the whole night to rebuild the engine and get her back into the bike... But there are some minor setbacks... You'll see when you scroll down.
Here's #4, heli-coil in place...
The cylinder head after a decent cleaning...
Thanks again!
LOL, my bench is pretty easy to sort out... 2 separate projects on the go for you?
So, I failed at removing that spark plug from the head. But good news, just got a call from my machine shop, THEY got it out... Not sure if they removed it or if they drilled / tapped /...
Aaaaaaaand gtam is having technical difficulties... I'll post the rest tomorrow...
Edit: Pics work... My super awesome comentary doesn't work.... Goodnight....
Edit in the AM... Put some words on the pics... Some still aint working... Oh well...
Update:
Sunday- Rebuilt the carbs. No pics though, you saw them come apart so pics of them going together would be boring...
Monday- I kicked the bikes ass tonight. The original plan was to just remove the head to deal with my spark plug issue, but one thing lead to another...
Removed what...

Nice find, it does look the same, I'll ask the guy!

Looks like the project is on hold until next week... This weekend is a write off...I'll keep you fine peeps posted when it's rolling again!
Haha, yeah, when he said he was going to scrap the bike I almost snapped... I'm going to give it back to him when it's done... He doesn't know this yet... Thanks for the offer to help, I'll let you know if I get jammed...
Good to know, thanks for that info! Can't wait to hear it fire up!

And I wasn't going to do pics today... But why not...
Here's a pic the the bike's condition when I finished my last session on it... I would have put it with my last post but it didn't fit...
