Last month I brought home a 1978 cb750f with 5000 miles. According to its last license plate it has not been run since 1987. I rebuilt the carbs and sprayed some oil in the cylinders and pulled out the choke. It started within 4 seconds. It runs great. There is much more to do, but it was great to hear it run. There was nobody else around, wife and kids out of town, so I had to tell somebody. Now the real work begins with paint, tires, brakes and whatever else happens, but at least it runs. I'll try to post pictures later.
