Is there any way to balance without a set of vacuum gauges? On my old K model, I would pull 2 plug leads off, and set the idle at 1250rpm on 1 cylinder, then repeat for the other 2. After putting all three leads back on, I'd wind the idle adjustment back equally on each carb to get idle at 1250.

Thank you Peter. Took me 30 min to do all 3 carbs today. The thread cut under the choke mechanism is a bit shallow, but the Helicoils still seated far enough. If it was a bottoming tap, it would be no problem. Replaced the top screws with Allen head cap screws, just waiting for new pistons and diaphragms.

I have a 1977 gt750 and it is complete. When i was 20 the crank seals went and i had som issues with the clutch beeing extremely hard. Also i got water leaking to the gearbox. I took the engine out and started on some of the work but i ren out of money😂. Later on, i had to move, and it ended up in boxes at my fathers place. Now i am 32 years old, have my own house i have a garage with a motorcycle lift and everything. With your videos i start to build up the confidence to make up with my past and fix my old friend once for all😅. Thanks for the videos Peter.🎉

Hello hello! What if... I have older version of the Gt750 crank cases, it does not have o-ring holding for the water cooling line between cranks. Also area is much smaller in the upper case so even if i make o-ring holding place to bottom case, the upper case will not touch whole area of the o-ring. Any suggestions?
@suzukigt750idiotАй бұрын
The early crankcases were simply bonded together with sealant the O ring was introduced to give a better seal

@jefftaylor19742 ай бұрын
While I agree that the neutral light is not associated with the ignition system, the North American GT750J came with a 4-wire ignition loom. The black, white and black/yellow wires are for the ignition plate, and blue wire has a pigtail which connects to the neutral switch underneath the engine. I simply had to run a separate blue wire alongside the new Accent wiring loom up to the plug behind the side cover. Neutral light works now. :)
