I just inherited my dads 77 CB750K which had been in storage since 1990. The engine is seized up as of now. Hoping to get it running. Can anyone tell me the first things i should look for or do.

Marvel Mystry Oil in the spark plug holes.  It might save you from an engine teardown.

And welcome.  We all await some pictures.

I was thinking about trying the Mystery Oil, I've used it in my car before to try free up some stuck piston rings. I'll try it out, hope it works it's mysterious magic.
