I recently purchased a '80 Super Sport that has been sitting for four years. Rebuilt the carbs, new battery, new spark plugs, and tried to start it. At first I had some trouble getting it to turn over and thought I broke the starter because all i could hear was a beep/squeak coming from it, opened up the crank case to take a look at the gears, turns out I drained the battery (completely new to all of this.)
Now my issue happens when I try to start again, that reduction gear slips and I lose the mesh between all three gears before the motor is able to start. What am I missing/overlooking?
