Honda CB750 Nighthawk: Carburetor Removal

CB750 Nighthawk: Carburetor Removal

In this video I show you exactly what it takes to remove the carburetors on a 1991 - 2003 CB750 Nighthawk. The CB750 Nighthawk used in this video is NON-California model. Removal is similar to that model with less vacuum lines to worry about. I hope this helps complete the first steps to getting your Nighthawk back on he road!

Started watching this video thinking I was going to have to pull the carbs to install new throttle cables, but what you did with the bracket will save me a ton of time!

This video really helped me I just bought a 92 cb750 as my first bike and this helped me immensely thanks!

You are my new "best friend"! This bike, 1995, 30k miles, lost keys, no title, sketchy story, very very little money, 800 miles down, 800 miles back, sketchy trailer, George Washington Bridge, broken axle, Lowes for a new trailer tire, a fix on the highway. A Southern state (sort of).... And so. I now believe the sketchy story. Out of a container where it had been for (at least) four years. Black too, all original. The local Police Chief is helping ~ clean VIN~ Just ordered a Corbin seat. Digging into the keyset ~ one bolt out the other stripped, today's project. So you have my full attention. Every nuance ~. I'm going to start wearing wrinkled shirts. No problem . Now I will watch the rest of your video. Thank you for sharing this. New Hampshire. 〰✨👍✨〰

Your videos have been a great source of information. My retirement plan is to tinker with old bikes but leave the tech stuff to professionals like yourself.

Had a pristine 2000 black Nighthawk 750 for a brief time, sold it last summer, but kept my Honda ST 1100, which i love .

I'm a Harley Davidson Technician and I've been paying attention to what information you have shared and how you've conveyed it to other who generally don't have knowledge of the process. Anyway, you haven't done too badly. I nearly had a stroke though when you said to use a razor blade to clean up the intake boots! Can you imagine the number of ones that ruined perfectly good boots because of that slip of the tongue? NEVER use ANY sharp instrument against a soft material, especially a sealing surface, when attempting to clean up a part!! Don't use a sharp scraper when removing gasket material from an aluminum engine part like a cylinder head, rocker cover or oil pan either. You will ALWAYS gouge the mating surface and create a potential leak. Use a gasket removal solvent first to soften the gasket material and follow that with a DULL gasket scraper and you'll end up with a properly cleaned part that's ready for reassembly. As for the intake boots I would spray a small amount of carburetor cleaner on a shop towel and thoroughly wipe the insides of the boots and once that's dried I'd do the same thing again using a silicone spray lubricant. Keep up the good work but be mindful of your audience and there capabilities.

I don't know about Youtube. Pretty crazy. So yea. Me again, ONE YEAR LATER. You are Legend. So in August, new keyset, new air filter, oil and oil filter change. The bike "started right up." Ran on and off for a few hours to try to clear the idle screw. Couldn't get more than 4k on the tack with the choke on. And so finally yesterday, 2/11/2025 I have the carb on a table in the living room. Last inspection sticker (95' cb750 nighthawk ~ exactly as the one here you are working on) anyway the last inspection sticker is 2007. The carburetor bowls have drifts of crud in them I think for this bike this is the only visit to the carbs. So yea. Thank you again for this and I wish you well. 〰✨👍✨〰. New Hampshire

I'd love to see the video of you putting them back in with the airbox! I can't get the airbox to sit nicely on the carbs. I have the two left ones perfect, but the right ones are not as flush!

Hi, I just wanted to say I really appreciate this video. I picked up my own 91 CB750 Nighthawk as I grew out of my 2015 Suzuki DR200S that is my first bike. I have a lot of experience wrenching on any fuel injected car, but absolutely none with motorcycles let alone carbureted so this is very helpful. I hope you are doing well. Thank you!

[sfess]

Cody thanks for all the helpful videos! I’ve been watching them ever since I picked up an ‘85 Nighthawk 650 a few months ago. I enjoy learning from the trials and errors that come with wrenching on a bike. Along with the satisfying feeling of fixing something correctly.

LOVED this video Cody, as I have a 2001 CB750 Nighthawk, but have NEVER EVER tried taking the carbs. off of it!!! To help maintain them since I've owned it, when it comes winter-time and time to put it put premium fuel in it, and add the right amount of Sea-foam and then let it run long enough so that it fills all the bowls up with fuel/Sea-foam, then that's it!!! Have never once had a starting problem or carb. problem with it yet!!! (Knock-wood!!!) Anyway, I'm SURE all of us viewing this video, would SO VERY MUCH Appreciate one where Your actually TAKING APART, CLEANING and RE-INSTALLING these EXACT SAME CARBS. you took off of this engine, so that everything is done in FULL here!!! If You wanna do that in a 2-3 part video-series, DO IT!!! I beg of You, as reading these can already TELL how MOST viewers would LOVE to watch You do all that I mentioned MYSELF!!! Lol. Thank-You!!! :-)

"Grab 'em by the bowls."
What a great line. 👌

[AlexJimenez-cccs]

I have a 82 750sc that I pulled carbs from. If you think that's hard wait until you try to put them back. And Cody sure is right on about if there NOT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME time you will get a lot of practice and a good dose of frustration. Thx Cody Happy New Year.

[tknadin]

Nice on mate. I hope you and the missus had a great Christmas and a great new year.

[Pifferfish]

Got my carb kit, attempting this next weekend on my 1985 Nighthawk S. Been dreading it, but it's time.

[matthewchestnut]

Thanks for the suggestion on getting the 2000-03 service manual. I have the 1991 service manual for my 1992 Nighthawk 750, always looking for guidance on servicing this motorcycle!

[bretearwood]

I will never be able to get rid of my 92 cb750. I love that bike so much
It was my first and it will be with me until the end. Went to a breadbox filter because I absolutely hated putting those carbs back on.!

[kikobaliko]

Happy new year! Thank you for helping me with my bike.

[AsheTracks]

Im having such a hard time getting the carb off the gasket mounts 😤😤😤

[Moon_Quake]

Man. I'm the idiot that had the bike (just about) crush me when it toppled over while working on it, on the center stand. You are sooo right about that! I wish I would have seen this tip first 😂😂
