Hello all . . .
Just got a line on a 1977 CB750K for sale in my hometown . . . owner is asking $3700. I went to look at it . . . it barely runs and leaks gas pretty bad. Sounds like it's been sitting so I'm sure I'm up for carb rebuilds. Seems to be in decent shape cosmetically, just can't tell much engine wise since, like I say, it barely runs, if at all. He got it started for a few seconds once or twice with healthy doses of choke and handfuls of throttle.
I offered him $2K, not sure how desperate he is to sell it, but that's about all I could comfortably give for it. Did I lowball him badly??
How is parts availability for this bike? Is it a struggle to find engine/carb parts?
Thanks for any and all help!
