Hi there everyone been browsing through the sight and see its the right place for all things four. I have recently gotten my hands on a 1980 CB 650 which i was initially going to bop but have realized that it is 100% original and therefore a restoration is only fair, my problem is cold starting, carbs were cleaned twice. It run starts easily and once warm it starts faster than i can leave the button, might be choke I'm not happy with the cable, friends say poor earth to motor or compression rings.
It did stand for a few years and then was sent in to get running, after that it stood +-9 months then i got it.
Please guys any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome.   
In the FAQ section of this forum, you'll find a link to Manuals FAQ....you can download the shop manual for your bike in .pdf format.
It'd be best to go through and complete all items listed in the Periodic Maintenance pages.  A properly tuned bike starts (more) easily.  valves, timing, vacuum sync, etc....
Its a good idea to list the carb model number (in your other thread).
Some bikes had more than one type of carb/small differences.  Helps us help you.
