new member from the Arkansas Ozarks
« on: August 03, 2008, 05:28:21 AM »
 Hey, my name is Terry and I live in Harrison Arkansas. I've had my motorcycle license for 36 years. I've had a bunch of bikes from a Honda 50 to a Harley Ultra Classic. But never a cb750 until now. It's a 78 that has been sitting in a guy's yard for at least a year. Side covers missing, rusty parts, frozen cables, yadda, yadda. It does crank over but no spark and only shows 15k miles so there is hope.
 Gotta go, I'm headed to the ignition FAQs so I can get this pile fired up. Thanks in advance for all your help!
