NGC, My 1972 Honda cb750 chopper is almost back on the road!
« on: August 17, 2025, 12:51:31 AM »
I’ve been rebuilding the carburetors, changing main jetting and moving the needle clips from the lowest needle clip position (richest setting) to the middle settings.  I’m waiting on my new main carburetor jets to arrive.  Just installed new float bowl gaskets etc and it’s getting close.  I’m thinking it may be road ready within 60 days as I have a few other things to do to it. 











Woo hoo!

Remember…ride weird shit and take chances!  Woo hoo!!!!

Have you changed all the linkage bushings & such? Helps when syncing carbs.

Hope all is going well.   :thumb: 

I rode mine w/hardtail & 15 over front end till I got my HD Reconstruct w/suspension on the road.  I traded it for a Datsun pu when I got my Recon on the road.  The only suspension on the rear was 15lb air pressure in the Conti tire.  :shocked:  Loads of fun going over the expansion joints on I10 in Phoenix.   :grin: :grin: :grin:

I thought riding a Moto Guzzi meant you pretty much had that covered.  :wink:
