Hello from Ohio!
« on: May 20, 2019, 07:36:09 AM »
Hey Folks!

I'm brand new to the world of bikes after picking up a fairly clean (but not running) '79 CB650 at a barn sale last week as a project. I've got a lot of friends into riding and rebuilding, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to join the community. I haven't done a whole lot of small engine work prior to this though, so we'll see how it all works out!

Not yet, it's been sitting about a dozen years without any maintenance, so I'm going to re-do seals/gaskets in the carb and engine before even thinking of firing it up. But, after a decent lookover it seems like everything except for the airbox is there! And I live just outside Springfield, so it's about 2 hours from Ironton.
