SamJohnson started the topic Popping on left side on overun! in the forum How To Fix It 6 years, 7 months ago
1978 B3 carbs rebuilt all exhaust joints sealed. Starts fine runs ok but there is a popping sound at tickover and when bike is on the overrun.
If I raise the choke lever just alittle bit the popping stops!!!
I have tried the air mixture screw adjustment but am unsure which way to turn it to weaken or richen the mixture.
Any ideas and comments…[Read more]

paid £2500 for it.
As everyone says the exhausts need changing.
Any thoughts on what to fit and where to get them from would be helpful.
Thanks Sam

Thanks to you all,
I have just done a deal on the bike from Cornwall, the Green one.
Can’t wait for it to arrive. No doubt I will need lots of advice and guidance from site members in the near future.

Looks good been in contact with the bloke asking for more and better pictures but he does not seem interested in supplying better shots!
Its 350 miles away from me so I would like to see some clearer and indeed larger pictures.
Shame he doesn’t seem interested otherwise I would probably have bought it off the photo’s etc and got it couriered up here.Sam

howdy joe !
just slow down to a gallop sir !
there are to my mind four problems with the starter clutch ,
first have a read of biques thread , mechanical , starter clutch warning and just take time to figure it out …
but alternately if everything else checks out ,
1. there is not enough charge in the battery .
2. the brushes in the starter are…[Read more] -
SamJohnson replied to the topic KZ750G in the forum Bike Related Sales and Wants 16 years, 3 months ago
for the record i’m not so sure about this one folks , maybe parts value ?
a 76/77 b1/b2 is worth so much , and an 80 g model/ltd is worth so much …
but an 80 g model/ltd with a b1/b2 engine is far from original , and is unlikely to hold any value but is also going to prove expensive to get it back to something like it should be …
