    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Although I own a CB750 DOHC I was hoping that I might find some help in this forum. I finally got the bike running this summer with some carb tuning and a little wiring work. But all of the sudden the thing jsut stoped starting. The starter seems to attempt to turn over the engine, doing so about a 1/4 rotation. Good news it turns engine. In doing so the starter whines after one try, instead of a steady chugg. I pulled the starter outand hooked it up to the battery...works fine...and the gear bearing seems ok ..no left to right movement. I have been directed towards the starter clutch, which fortunatly on this modle is relativly acessable. is this right...How should I go about diagnosing the problem and then how should I fix it......Thanks for the help the site is great....
 
It does sound like the starter clutch. You would have to remove the starter clutch parts and examine them for wear. You didn't say? Can you push start it?
 
Possibly a starter clutch. A factory shop manual, or a Clymer or Haynes manual should be a big help to you. They should show you all about getting to & what to look for on the problem. Check e-bay
 
Whether or not you can push-start would give you a solid base for trouble-shooting. If you can't push start, you'll know it probably isn't related to your starter or starter clutch.
