Greetings from Portland, Michigan! ('75 550F)
« on: April 17, 2009, 09:44:24 AM »
I have recently acquired a field-find, a 1975 Honda CB550F.  Suprisingly, the engine actually turned over.....but, the carbs are seized, as are most of the switches and the rear-wheel.  Yay. Anyway, my name is Doug, and I'll be here.

Use a heat gun to free the carb slides.
