I am ecstatic. I just got this same bike from a family member. Been sitting for ten years. I couldn’t find any explanation videos on the bike. Finally I found this. Now I have a real shot at fixing up this bike. Thank you so much
Will be picking up a 1979 CB750K next week. Bikes has not run in at least 5 years. Seller says bike will start but carbs do overflow so they need to be cleaned. Also the brakes need to be done I guess.
Way cool! If you don't already know this try using a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the rubber boots between the carbs and head, will help getting the carbs off.

Nice job John, I am surprised Mike picked up that big of bike. But in this case looks like it will pay off. Good diagnosis.
Your surprise is spot on, I bought this one foe myself. Hoping to make a tidy profit.
Heat gun or hair dryer on the boots can make the job easier removing and re-installing carbs.👍
Yeah, I thought about that but then my laziness kicked in. lol

If the mains look clogged, for sure the pilots should be cleaned too.
I did clean the pilot jets but I really should soak the carbs properly to clean all passages.
Good idea.@@flipfix
