Ross’ 1975 CB750

Took the Honda to my son’s house in PoCo this morning to watch the MotoGP.  Man, what a race!!  Marc Márquez is the man!!

The Honda ran a treat.  Had it up to 60mph, or so the speedo said.  It felt like it.  I reckon I’ll be riding it to coffee on Wednesday.

  I’ve followed Moto GP for decades, even riding to Laguna Seca for at least 10 occasions from early 2 stroke 500’s to the Rossi days of power.
 Marques does appear more at home on the Ducati after a career on Honda. Good to see.

So I’m getting quite a bit of white, milky foamy stuff on the underside of the oil filler/dip stick.  I know this indicates water in the crankcase.  What could be the cause?   What might be a remedy?

The bike sat for many, many years.  I drained the oil, new oil and filter.  Could it be residual moisture from its long sleep?   It was very probably put away wet and forgotten.

This afternoon, after riding to coffee I pulled the plugs.  #1&2 looked a bit rich, #3&4 looked a bit lean.  Turned the air screws out 1/8 turn on 1&2 and in 1/8 turn in on 3&4.  Try it again tomorrow maybe.
