Will My Honda CB750 Start After 2 Years?? | Bringing My 823cc Project Motorcycle Back to Life | 36

Will My Honda CB750 Start After 2 Years?? | Bringing My 823cc Project Motorcycle Back to Life | 36 Here's a YouTube description written in UK English, around the 3,500-character mark, with a natural style that matches the tone of the video and avoids AI clichés, bullet points and emojis. After far too long sitting forgotten in the corner of the workshop, it's finally time to pull the cover off my Honda CB750 project and see what state it's really in. #ad Here's what we used in this video (affiliate links).

If you've followed this build from the beginning, you'll know this isn't a standard CB750. The engine has been taken out to 823cc and a huge amount of work has already gone into the bike. Unfortunately, life, other projects and a growing motorcycle collection have meant that this Honda has been left untouched for around two years. What was only supposed to be a short break somehow turned into a very long one. With my Ducati Multistrada temporarily out of action following a puncture, I started thinking about getting another bike back on the road. That led me straight back to the CB750. The original plan was simple enough: drag it out, dust it off and see if it would run. As always with old motorcycles, things didn't quite go according to plan. After finally wrestling the bike out from its resting place, it initially showed some signs of life, proving once again that Hondas have a reputation for being remarkably resilient. However, it quickly became obvious that there was a problem with the electric start system. The engine would still turn over on the kickstart, so thankfully it wasn't seized, but the starter motor wasn't doing its job. That led to a bit of fault-finding and a look behind the generator cover. Rather than diving straight into the starter motor itself, I investigate the starter drive mechanism and sprag clutch arrangement to see what's going on. At first glance the problem looks rather worrying, and for a moment there's even the possibility of something much more serious lurking inside the engine. Fortunately, a closer inspection reveals a far simpler explanation. Sometimes the smallest faults can create the biggest concerns, and in this case the solution turns out to be much less dramatic than first feared. With the torque wrench brought into action and everything tightened to the correct specification, it's time to see whether the theory is correct. Once the cover is refitted and all the fasteners torqued correctly, the starter system is tested again. It's always satisfying when a straightforward mechanical fix delivers immediate results, although getting a motorcycle running properly after years of inactivity is rarely as simple as fixing a single issue. The British weather also decides to play its part, as it often does when you're trying to work outside. With rain threatening and the battery beginning to lose enthusiasm, it becomes clear that a full recommissioning process will be needed before this bike is ready for the road again. Over the coming videos I'll be working through the jobs that naturally come with a machine that has been standing for such a long time. The front brake needs attention, the carburettors will likely need cleaning, the oil and filter are due for replacement, and the rest of the bike deserves a thorough inspection before any serious riding takes place. There's also a few other niggles that need checking over before I can confidently put some miles on it again. This video marks the return of a project that many viewers may have thought had been abandoned. The CB750 is back out in the daylight at last, and the goal now is to get it running properly, make it safe and reliable, and finally enjoy riding it again. If you'd like to follow the progress of this long-running Honda CB750 project, make sure you're subscribed to the channel. There are plenty more workshop updates to come, and with a bit of luck it won't be too long before this bike is back where it belongs – out on the road.
