cb 750 - timing woes
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2021 2:31 pm
Hi guys i’m still having problems with my honda cb750 k5 1975
It’s reluctant to start even after cleaning the carbs so i have turned my attention to checking the points and timing
Trouble is try as i might i can’t get the firing marks to line up and the points open about 6mm from where the lines on the timing plate line up - there is no more adjustment available on the back plate as the slotted holes where the screws sit are at the limit of their extremities .
Anyone got any ideas what is wrong ?
will new points rectify it or even electronic ignition ?
