Honda CB750 No Start After Sitting 2 Years
Bing’s question:
My old 750 Honda has been sitting for a couple years in the back of the garage. I put in a new battery, and it cranks but won’t start.
Answer:
That’s pretty typical. The gasoline in the tank and the carbs gets all gunked up and clogs everything up. You will have to remove all four carburetors and take them apart. Then soak them for a day or so in one of those cleaning buckets with solvent that you can get at any good auto parts store. The gunk is so strong you can’t attempt to fix them any other way. Then remove all the jets inside and blow them clean with compressed air. If you don’t feel up to doing this, pull the carbs and take them to a good used motorcycle shop. They can do it for you, and most charge 150 bucks or so IF you bring the carbs in.
