Видео

Thanks for the sub! Glad I could help! I made the video for that very reason, I had been watching letterbox but hadn't scene an update from him, I try not to skip anything in videos, cuz I totally feel the rewinding 300times thing, been there. Wish you the best on your project!

​@@one.crafty_boi Thanks! I literally discovered Letterbox's stuff and then it took me down a rabbithole that led to you. I look forward to more content!

I'm not sponsored or anything so I can tell you this has definitely happend to me, and this is what I've found, clear 2k paint no matter the brand, (I've used them all) generally spray better and are more forgiving. With colored 2k paint, I'd suggest warming the can in boiling water before breaking the seal to mix them. You'll get a smoother mixture a d it will go on less globby. If you can spray in an environment with low humidity that isn't too cold that's even better. Spraying in the cold outside or in high humidity will 100% fk up your 2k paints. Also some nozzles have defects, it happens, so try a different nozzle they usually come with 2. But your right 2k clears spraymax especially usually spray really well in comparison.

Pretty much, 2k paint are amazing, love them, all the brands that make it are great in my experience but this video is specifically about samurai 2k paint.

Haha, I'm glad I could be helpful!

Theoretically yes I think so, but it would be difficult and I'm not sure if recomend it, full rebuild could be done ina. Weekend for less than $150 and that'd double the life of yr bike most likely. Just my opinion

It's hondabond and it's there, might be hard to see in the video, not even sure I got that on tape or not, lol. But I promise it's there, lol

I used both a Clymer and the official honda service manual.

@@one.crafty_boi thanks man!

Ya, I have some unedited footage I need to go through, but I have it apart again for final frame touchups and then paint, then the final re-assembly.

@@one.crafty_boi hope to see it soon there are little to no builds on RUclips about this bike and it seems to be such a popular bike in the forums

@@TheThiccCake my thoughts exactly

Got some junk stuck in the carbs but got them cleaned out and it's running pretty great now, I'll prob lost within the next 2 weeks with an update.

He was only a puppy

Plenty of ways to do it, plain old parts cleaner and a tooth brush is great, or if your lazy like me, go on Facebook market and pickup an old dishwasher for free, then have it cycle parts cleaner fluid, toss in whatever parts you want cleaned and yr done.

Genius

I believe I actualy put it on the underside of the top of the crankcase since there is a place where it seats into the case, instead of just setting it on the bottom. So it sandwiches in. I just used the Lucas Assembly lube. It's very tacky it was enough to hold it in place as I dropped the top on.

The frame on these 750s actually comes apart on one side, it allows you to slide the engine in, you just have to remove the oil filter before you do it, but it will slide in with a bit of fiddling about. It is heavy though so its nearly impossible to do alone.

@@one.crafty_boi I saw a guy strap the engine to a big barbell and then rest each end on jacks which were on top-up rollers to roll it in by himsef

@TouchPoint Property Management I saw that video too, definitely would have done something similar if I'd had the room, but the tight work area didn't really allow for anything like that, I may do something similar though when I pull the engine for frame paint.

Same! I was really disappointed there wasn't an assembly by letterbox, love his content

I used the Lucas Oil High performance assembly lube, it has a green color to it, I really like how tacky it is because it lets you set things in place as you assemble the engine.

A diversion🥴🤡

Right?! I could hardly find anything about assembly of this engine. Glad I could help!

Haha, ya. Sry I couldn't be more help, ill be posting a vid on electrical for the bike this week, if yr to that stage yet.👍

Looking forward to it bud !

I see that had some trouble putting the main cam chain on the sprocket .... how did you eventually get it to sit on ?

@@Adm7869 if I remember correctly I used the cam retainers that go on the ends to press the cam down enough to attach the sprocket, I believe I had the chain on the sprocket already, and I just bolted it back onto the cam. So i didnt have to pull the chain onto the sprocket just bolt the sprocket on. I think the key was using the retainers to press down the cam so I could get the chain on, also make sure your chain tensioners are as loose as you can get them.

Thanks for making the video I'm in the process of doing the same rebuild. On the forums they recommend installing everything into the top crankcase first and then putting the bottom on next.

I'm editing it right now! I should have the video out this week 👍 just finished puting back together, probably split it into two videos as it's getting very long.
