Re: An optimistic request!
I was looking for one for the same reason. I ended up buying an SS dual seat. It needed a little bit of modification but I think it will work. I haven't actually gotten around to do it and probably wont for a while so i'm not 100% sure it works but it might be worth looking into.

Re: 74 Gt 750 surging
There seems to be a few people having these same problems lately. I think its gas related. Clean your carbs, check floats as mentioned below. I'm wondering if the gas itself is a problem with ethanol in it these days. Maybe try emptying your tank, go through your carbs, and fill it with some race ga...

Can MSD coils be used?
Does anyone think these coils are ok to run as a replacement to the stock coils on a roundcase? I'm going to guess its a no go, since 5 ohm coils are recomended, 3 ohm for racing. They are just compact and i have several of them sitting on my shelf. http://www.msdpowersports.com/Products/Watercraft/...

Re: Problem removing bearing from sproket carrier
Thanks Steve. I actually had trouble with my blind puller, they just were not budging. I had to take the expanding tip of the blind puller and adapt it to a hydraulic press to pull them out. Came out like butter after that. Putting the sprocket carrier bearings back was a real pain too. Pressing one...

Problem removing bearing from sproket carrier
I was able to remove the bearing and the sleeve they are on from the sproket carrier/Cush Drive and was able to remove one of the bearings from the sleeve. The other one will not budge. It looks like it has a 1/4" inch spacer on one end. This is the bearing on the side of the sleeve that is not...

'74 Twin electrical testing
I've rad a lot about the inadequate electrical on the old twins. @40 years old things have no doubt gotten worse over time. The bike runs but i wanted to go through the system and verify proper operation of the components. (Alternator, regulator, etc... ) I have a multimeter and have been trying to ...

Re: 750 sport compression
Wow thanks for the excellent information. The left exhaust is in fact the stronger one and the horizontal cylinder is in fact slightly lower on compression. Yes i am using gauges to sync the carbs. I ordered a bunch of shims that should put me in the .1 - .13 clearance range on the intake and .1 - ....

Re: 750 sport compression
Craig, what engine were you shimming? What specs do you use on clearances. I have another thread for valve clearances but no replies yet. Too much varying info out there to make a determination.

Re: 750 sport compression
I thought i have one cylinder weaker than the other. I noticed when tuning the carbs and holding my hand near the exhaust (one strong, one weak). At this point i am chalking it up to possible valve clearance out of spec + weak battery (not so good spark) and points not set perfectly. I didn't have t...

Re: 750 sport compression
I thought many other things went into figuring out what compression numbers should be. For instance valve timing, or is everything already figured into the compression ratio figure?
I'm seeing higher than 120psi-135psi... I'll have to do the test again.

750 sport compression
Are there any known compression figures for 750 sports?
