Help/advice required.

Looking to purchase a 1973 cb750 current owner states:

Bike runs but needs work. Carbs need to be rebuilt and transmission needs work too. Clutch cable is working but it's not going into gear. New petcock valve, new ignition coils, wires, and plugs. New gel battery. Along with a new paint job.

The engine runs. I can start it for you and everything. It's just not going into any gears. It might be the clutch but I don't know.

Just wondering what anyone thinks could be the issue ad if it's even worth getting and attempting to rescue.

Thanks

my two cents. i would say let it pass unless you are willing and able to do the work,which could mean removing the engine and splitting the cases. it might be something minor in the clutch assembly and it is just as much or more of a chance that it is in the tranny. until the clutch is gone into and inspected it's hard to say.

Could be the same bike I spotted on C.L. close to a month ago, If it is theres a reason why it,s still listed for $500. Plus with a salvage title, I think I would listen to Travlyr,s advice.

Thank you both and I believe it is the same bike you've seen on there. And I agree you're both correct.
