The starter and soliniod are together in this car and located in the front of the engine under the airbox. The starter is only held in with 2 bolts and the wiring. You may not need to remove the airbox completely but it may be easier I the long run if the mounting bolts have rusted over the years. Remember to disconnect the battery before starting this job. Also, make note of how the wires are connected before you remove them.
Disconnect battery
Remove top of airbox (cover)
Make notes on how the air hoses and wiring are hooked up.
Loosen clamps on hoses to airbox and disconnect any electrical connectors. Remove the attaching hardware for the airbox and remove.
Make notes on wiring to the starter/solinoid. Remove/ unplug wiring to starter.
Remove the retaining hardware. For the starter and remove.
I recommend bringing the starter and solinoid as an assembly to a parts store capable of completing the tests because they do it for free and assume responsibility for the test by doing the job. ; ) (autozone, pepboys do this test for free)
Determine faults and replace as necessary.
To install, reverse removal procedures.
Good luck!

This is a very extensive proceedure, but you have to remove anything and everything that'll prevent you from getting those carbes off.

If you have the four carbs attached to a big airbox, the airbox has to be removed with the carbs and then disassembled from the airbox. Once you take the airbox lid off you'll see the screws that holds the carbs.
The water lines attached to the carb go into the engine just pop right out, they have an o-ring on the ends of them,
Once you have the throttle cables, choke cable, vacuum line and water lines disconnted, you can pull out the whole airbox with the carbs attached from the left side of the bike.

There is a few 10 mm bolts on the bottom left side of the airbox that you must remove first - then proceed to the carb cover - open it and remove the bolts that hold the carb directly to the airbox - it should slide out to the passenger side of the bike if you remove the one vent hose from the airbox.

thats a new one. People dump the airbox all the time and run k&n air filters instead. The airbox doesnt make that much of a difference. in fact, some actually work better without it.

You have to remove the battery box first, to remove the battery box you will need to unclip the fuse box, unclip the flasher unit and unscrew the 2 retaining screws which hold the ignitor.
Then slacken the clips on the air intake rubbers between the air box and the carbs, and remove the 2 airbox retaining screws postioned at the rear of the air box on top.
The airbox can then be pulled backwards away from the carbs,
If the air box is to be removed from the frame then you will need to remove the carbs first to allow room to manuver the airbox and then its a case of fiddle till you get it clear.

hello mate,, your anserw is no ,,u dont need to remove the motor mate,, just take tank and air box off ,, it is a bit fiddly to get at the jubilee screws on the inlet rubbers for the carbs,, but can be done ,,

I planning to replace the airbox on my 748 with another one. I want to estimate how difficult it will be: I know I need to remove the tank and the airbox runners but will the box then get out easily?he airbox will come off pretty easy you have to pulle off the breatherhose from under the airbox, it goes behind the rear cylinder. also, the funnels on the injectors need to be taken off. I am not sure what kind of funnels there are on a 748 compared to a 996, but you on a 996, you only have to twist them for a 1/4 turn, no more, and then pull, pretty hard, to get them off.,,,
