Bench testing an engine
« on: March 09, 2010, 04:49:27 AM »
So I just picked up a second CB650 for parts, and spent most of yesterday tearing it down with my buddy. Unfortunately there are few pieces missing to make it a full running bike and I don't have the title.

We removed the engine from the frame, and have it currently just sitting in my garage on the floor. Staring at it, it looks in good shape and this left us both wondering if I would be better off cannibalizing it for parts for mine, or just swapping it out. What I'd like to know is how easy it would be to get this running on my bench just to see how nicely it runs, and if anyone can make any suggestions on how to go about doing this.
