Hello all, new member here looking for a little advice/direction. I recently got a 1976 CB750A from a guy who parked it and lost interest roughly 4 years ago. The bike is complete and in pretty good shape for the age. I got it home and popped the plugs out, squirted some oil in the cylinders, and put them back. Drained the gas and put in fresh, and drained the carbs. The starter button doesn't work so I jumped the solenoid. Bike would start with choke and throttle but wouldn't idle. I didn't really have time to dive in any farther, so I parked the bike and that's where I've left off. As I get more time now I plan on working on it, but wanted to know the "order of operations" when starting one of these up after a long layup. I have several goldwings and usually start with the carbs before going any farther with electrical, brakes, cooling, etc. but didn't know if this is any different being a points/air cooled bike vs a goldwing. Should I consider electronic ignition and new coils/wires? I need to look at timing/points regardless, and inspect the coils closer to look for cracks or other issues. I like to think I can run some fresh fuel and cleaner to clean out the carbs without yanking them, but maybe not. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
