Do I have to pull the throtle valves? Or can I disconnect the cables and take the carbs off in one piece?

Get a manual. You can do damage by removing parts the wrong way. Some parts have to be torqued in a certain sequence or damage will occur.
The price of a manual will come back to you many times over.

Buy a manual. You're gonna need it for specs if you're rebuilding it.

It's been such a long time since working on those bikes. I do know it's a project trying to fit the motor out of the frame. If there's room, I think one trick was to remove the valve cover while the motor is still in the frame. Like I said it's been such a long time. That procedure may not be possible. Buy a shop manual.
It'll explain the procedure to remove the carbs. The air box may have to be unbolted from the frame, to pull it rearward, to make room to slide the carbs out as one unit.

Have a CB 750 repair manual before you start the job. The carbs can come out in one piece. The rack of carbs doesn't need to be separated. If rubber boots that connect the carbs to the intake are old, they may be very hard and stiff. Before reattaching carbs, dip boots in boiling water for about 10 seconds. They will become more flexible.

First, I second the motion to get a manual.
The carbs can be removed as a unit. Then you can take them to the bench for teardown if needed.
If you are changing the head gasket due to it's age, it's in your best interest to change the base gasket, and valve cover gasket at the same time. Don't forget the little o-rings too.

I own a cb750 currently. I restored it frame down style. I would suggets if you have a little mechanical understanding, the proper tools, a garage, and a manual for your bike then go ahead and do the repair yourself. The manual will answer everything for you. I would then suggest that you find a motorcycle shop that has the proper equipment to thoroughly inspect, clean, and machine your block without shipping it out. Go with them if you need help. There is a good website out there that is specific on honda cb's. Do your research and then decide if you can do it. Hell, someone else put it together why can't you pull it apart and repair it.

The cables come off and the carbs unbolt from the head. If this is a restoration rebuild the carbs. If it is a quick fix and they have been working right just unbolt them from the head and hang them on the frame with wire. No sense having small parts loose to lose.

Why not save a lot of time, grief and money...........not to mention sanity. Take it to a pro shop and get it done right. At least if they mess up it'll be their problem.
