This Honda Hasn’t Made a Sound in 30 Years… Will It Run? #vintagemotorcycle #motorcyclerewind #cb750 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXCVqILEkluYk5J4oXNabkA/join After more than 30 years of silence, this 1978 Honda CB750A Hondamatic is about to tell us its story. Will it roar back to life… or remind us why it was parked decades ago? We’re back in the garage working on a 1978 Honda CB750A Hondamatic, one of Honda’s strangest and most underrated motorcycles. In this episode, we’re chasing the first signs of life from a bike that hasn’t made a sound in over three decades. Before we try to fire it up, we break out the Nidage borescope and take a close look inside the cylinders. This is always the moment of truth—checking for rust, scoring, stuck rings, or anything that might turn this revival into a teardown. Seeing inside the engine gives us a clue whether this old Honda has a fighting chance or if it’s about to put up a fight. Once we’ve seen what’s happening inside the motor, it’s time to go for it and try to get this Hondamatic to make noise for the first time in 30+ years. No promises, no shortcuts—just old-school troubleshooting and a little optimism. The CB750A is a rare automatic Honda that doesn’t get much love, but that’s exactly why it deserves to be saved. Will it fire, sputter, backfire, or surprise us all? Stick around and find out as we try to wake up this long-silent Honda. 💬 Join the channel to support Motorcycle Rewind and get early access, badges, and behind-the-scenes perks. 🛠️ Subscribe to Motorcycle Rewind for more revivals, adventures, tips, and stories from the garage.
