I bought a 74 CB750 approx 1 year ago. Bike didn’t run when I bought it but would turn over using kick starter. Previous owner said engine ran before bike was parked 10 years ago. Bike has compression 120-150psi, spark, fuel and timing is correct. Good starter and new battery. Damn thing should start but cranks too slow to get it to fire. My thought is that internal corrosion is causing too much drag from friction. Has anyone tried towing their bike to get motor to crank fast enough to start? Once it starts it should loosen up enough to start with electric start.
