Greetings all,
I picked up a complete motor the other day. The numbers are 1000894. It has a later finned oil cover on it. Based on the serial number, what else should I examine for correctness on the motor? It doesn't appear to have had any repair work done to the cases, but I need to give it a good cleaning to be sure. It also has a full set of carbs on it. Were the carbs the same for all the sandcasts?
Thank you for your attention- Hoosier Tom

Tom, the clutch cover which mounts to the crankcase, should be 9-hole. If the head is correct, there will be no center bolt on the front top, between #2 & 3 spark plug.

Steve,
Thank you for the info. The cylinder head is as you described, no bolt between plugs 2 & 3. This is the same head as on my 2-70 built CB750. It does have the 9 hole clutch cover. I have several SOHC 750s, but never had the opportunity for any sandcast stuff. I'm trying to decide should I wait for a frame, sell it or keep it as a display piece.
Thank you- Hoosier Tom

Steve,
Thank you for the invitation. I just registered and will place an ad for a frame. Is the rule of thumb + or - 200 between frame and engine?
