Hello Everyone.
Let me start by saying , Thanks for the great forum , I have read a few post and have been able to do a few repairs on my bike thanks to you guys, I am new here and after researching the issues with no luck i am going to post what is going on in hopes of getting this bike back on the road.
What I have is a 1991 CB750 that has sit or 4 years. It was wrecked and had a bent front wheel ( just replaced it ) busted headlight lens and no bulb mounting tub. I am to the point were i am trying to start the engine but i am getting no fire. This bike has been monkeyed with and its hard to tell what the previous owner as done to it. Here are the issues i am having
The start button does not work, Instead the previous owner put 2 wires on the coil that you touch together to start it.
The head light is missing ( is it part of the circuit and will it prevent he bike from starting?)
How can i test the kill switch? Can i bypass it to temporarily test for fire?
The turn signals work strangly , If i push the switch in it will start one side blinking but its random as to which side. If i slide it to the left or right it does nothing.
The gearbox is in neutral but the neautral light is not On , Will his prevent the engine from starting?
Thanks everyone , I am looking forward to getting this bike back on the road.
take care
Justin
