Hey Jack, I'm glad you find this video helpful. The sound that you're referring to is just the transmission rolling around in neutral. There is a lot of force in these engines and the primary drive is capable of turning those gears even at idle speeds. You'll notice as soon as you put the bike in gear that the sound goes away. This is because putting it in gear meshes the drive gears with your front sprocket, and if the bike is standing still then the inertia from the back wheel, transferred to the back sprocket, through the chain, and to the front sprocket stops the transmission from turning around inside the case.

Went right back to the battery with a test light, worked my way around, found that I had a loose connection to my ignition and the ground wasn't good for the neutral safety switch.

Although my battery was charged the low V at start up was a key record that the battery was old...2011 it was changed I later found out so 12 years old. I checked my starter to 12v IV it worked, the stop/start switch had continuity so worked. The starter relay was not working correctly. Thx for your help that was excellent.

Hi, it's hard to give a definitive answer without being there with you and seeing exactly what you mean, but if you have continuity between the one of the lines in that connector and your battery ground, it could mean that the cable coming from your regulator/rectifier is pinched or damaged and is somehow making contact with the frame. Could also mean that something inside the reg/rec is damaged and is making contact with the body of the reg/rec, which is mounted the frame, i.e. the ground. In any case, I would look at replacing the reg/rec. Charging issues are more likely to come from that component than the stator + rotor, but it certainly doesn't hurt that you've replaced those things.

Great video, learned a lot!! I have a 1980 Honda 750f for 43 years now...got it on my 18th birthday..., great bike, but now I am about to give it up.. When I turned the key ALL lit up as usual, and as I tried to start the bike ALL went dark (NO power). I checked the fuses and they are all good, so I tried to test the solenoid and did not spark so I check the battery and it was bad. I replaced with a new solenoid and a new battery and still NO power at all. I decided to get a new ignition and still NO power. The engine does turn when I put the screw driver in the solenoid. I checked the ground connection and I cannot see anything wrong with it. At this point I have no idea what else could be wrong. I really need help
@Gumaamug
@Gumaamug 8 ай бұрын
Hi - engine turning over when you bridge the solenoid is a good sign! Have you checked all the fuses with the ring/continuity mode on a multimeter or just inspected them by eye? It's possible that one or more is blown but doesn't look that way. They should ring out when you touch the probes to either end. So you've replaced battery, solenoid, and ignition switch. Next I would look at the right side handlebar switch where the killswitch and starter button are. Take it apart and make sure it's not full of spiderwebs or corrosion or anything like that. Clean the contacts inside with spray contact cleaner. Without looking at the bike, I suspect this switch as you mentioned that everything was fine when you turned the key and then went bad when you tried the button.

Hi TJ - Help Help - About a month ago, I got a 1981 CB750 Custom that has stacks and no airbox - Engine worked fine. I got it for my wife, and have done a number of repairs. Mater Cylinder, Turn Signal Switch, electrical shorts, etc. Similar to how the 750s' loose power when needing to go to reserve, suddenly "Babe' would loose power then jerk forward in full power. I assumed it was a dirty tank. Babe has a dirty tank, but does not seem to be the cause. The fuel regulator diagram that is mounted on top of carb 4 - the over flow tube would drip. I plugged it, and also found a replacement. Problem went away until I refilled the tank. So I added some gum out like before hoping that and spraying carb cleaner into the fuel hose going to the regulator diaphragm from the tank could correct issue like last time. Suddenly no fuel is getting to the carbs, but plenty going to the regulator diaphragm which has a vacuum hose coming from carb 2. I tried draining No 4's fuel bowl which appeared empty. Consider that Babe behave is running out of fuel, than that this regulator diaphragm might have an issue in letting fuel thru, I replaced it - Still no fuel to the carbs - Before doing a rebuild on carbs that normally run incredibly well, and even better than my original Limited's Carbs with an airbox, I am reticent to proceed any further with car rebuilds etc without your opinion Thanks for reading this - I hope I can get your thoughts on this -
@Gumaamug
@Gumaamug 9 ай бұрын
If I understand you correctly, your carbs still have the vacuum-activated regulator sitting on top. This is the disc-shaped valve (I think it looks like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars) that accepts the fuel line from the tank and then feeds it into the carbs... These are notorious for being finicky and causing issues just like you described, and the good news is that the bike works just fine without it. Its only function is to stop fuel flow to the carbs when there is no vacuum, i.e. when the bike is off. You can remove it and run fuel line directly from the tank to the brass carb inlet that sticks up between carbs 1 and 2. You can put a rubber cap on the vacuum nipple that comes from carb 2. If you remove this regulator, you MUST treat the bike like an older model and turn off the fuel from the petcock whenever you're not running it. Otherwise you risk flooding the engine or dumping all your gas out through the carb overflow depending on how well your carb floats/float valves seal. This is an easy habit to get into and a small price to pay for not having to deal with this poorly designed part of the carbs.
@ClassicRider
@ClassicRider 9 ай бұрын
Thanks so much for your reply, your help and your suggestions - I will follow your suggestion after one more attempt on a repaired Millennium falcon. Last night after the failure of the Ebay swap, I took apart the original. Two theories were confirmed. A- Its a vacuum controlled fuel regulator ( try finding anything about it in repair books - best of luck ) , and B- that it had ruptured. The Rubber diaphragm has a factory hole , and then a small torn hole that I figure would cause it to fail. Eventually I chose a tiny dab of hot glue to seal the rupture. I rubbed gasoline on it after to see if it would breakdown. It appears to be doing its job, but just a littler stiffer diaphragm - If this fails then I go to your solution - Per your solution you noted to make sure not to over flow the carbs when parked by turning off the petcock valve. That to me is best practice - Question - is your concern that the floats in the fuel bowls are not reliable? I will follow best practice then - Again thanks for the informative help -

Floats and needle valves are as reliable as they can be, but you'd never want to find out the hard way that something had failed by waking up to five gallons of gasoline on the garage floor. Easier to just turn the petcock off every time you park the bike.

Mr. Masters - I appreciate your review of the CB750 Honda Electrical System. Thanks - I have two 750s. My 79 is fine. The 81 is a Custom for my wife that we just got. Although the turn signals work correctly, The Right Turn Signal ( Blue wire side ) [ will lite up and stay lit if the Running Light ( tail light ) Fuze is okay ] unless used normally as a turn signal. In other words, the Turn Signals work regardless. After about a minute or so, the running light fuse blows, and the right signal side is no longer lit up but is off unless the turn signal is selected. In reviewing the schematic I concluded that the turn signal switch is leaking a positive from the run light brown wire to the blue wire side of the switch. Observations: When the run light fuse blows, the run light does not receive power otherwise. The Turn signal fuse which is adjacent to the Run Light Fuse has not blown - turn signals work normally - Your opinion is most welcomed - thanks !

The blue line is the only hot as expected. Will see what happens - You video's are excellent - I just cant wait to tune two sets of 750 valves some day. This weekend Im going to use a new timing light - btw: in reviewing the schematic , the blown fuse in question also is for the instrument lights and front run lights which don't work. The front run lights share the same switch vicinity as the turn signal switch. When the fuse is not blown, the right turn signal lights stay on unless the turn signal is selected - this I figure shorts the run light fuse path to ground thereby blowing the fuse. Hence, the turn signals can now operate without the intrusion of the run light power source shorting over to the blue wire. If in the headlamp bucket, will review first, but I got a switch on order - Oh- something else -no where is there documentation of the vacuum fuel regulator that sits on top of carb 4 - please explain its operation in a separate video - thanks !

Hi Edgar, you can find on my channel another video about testing the electrical system. It sounds like there's no power getting to your starter motor if the solenoid is clicking but the bike is not cranking. Definitely check your battery voltage with a meter while you have the starter button pressed. If the battery does not have over 12v with the bike off, it will not have enough juice to crank the motor. If the bike is new to you, I wouldn't be surprised if it needs a new battery. Otherwise you can check your ground connection from the battery (-) terminal, check your main 30A fuse in the solenoid. The electrical path to the starter motor is very direct from the battery through the solenoid. Good luck!

Just thinking out loud at this point... the only thing that changes electrically when you shift into gear is the contact with the neutral switch. The symptoms you're describing sound like the ignition circuit is somehow grounding out. The neutral switch cabling runs up to the headlight to feed the neutral light in the dash. I would check all wires in the headlight bucket and compare them with the diagram. Make sure the neutral switch wires (Light Green/Red) are correct and not going anywhere they shouldn't be.

Just a heads up. Synthetic oil Is 100% great with wet clutch. Almost all bikes have wet clutch and sport bikes need Synthetic oil. Honda,yamaha,suzuki, ktm,etc...... all offer thier own Synthetic oils. Motul 300v Ester Synthetic is absolutely the best oil for bikes. Even super anti wear additives won't affect wet clutches as they are designed to eliminate friction between metal on metal friction. The clutches are a fiber material on metal and the additives don't affect that friction that is what makes them work as they are designed to operate in oil. So everything else on your video I loved but your info on Synthetic is misguided
