I've rode an 82 CB750C for a few years.
This year, I've been unable to get it started. After testing for spark (it had spark) and swapping out the air filter (should have done that before trying to start it), it still wouldn't start.
I left it alone for a while, as I thought I needed a complete carb rebuild, and I didn't have any free weekends.
This past week, I tried to drain gas from it. The carb bowls were dry; nothing came out after I opened the drain plug.
I removed the tank, and it had plenty of gas. The hose from gas tank to the top of the carbs was full of gas. But there was nothing in the carb bowls. (Which would explain the engine not starting!)
What could be the cause of that?
Do I still need to take the carbs out and clean them out? Or should I look for something else?
