Hello everyone. It is my first thread here, so please excuse me if I overstep any bounds.
I recently got an 81 CB750 Custom with the intention to make it into a custom bike of my liking. This is my first CB750, and I am very inexperienced with the platform. The bike ran fine according to seller. He put it away for the winter, and now it has some problem starting.
Today I hop on it and tried to start it. With full open choke, I'd have to keep pressing the start for about 5 sec before the engine would run. At full choke it would idle at about 3k rpm. I'd let it idle for a little bit to warm up, then close the choke. As soon as the choke is closed, the engine would die immediately. I tried it again a couple time, and the result was the same. When I close the choke a little bit to let the engine idle at around 1k rpm, I can hear some strange moving noise. That noise scared me a little so I decided ask for some advice before I damage something. Does anyone have an idea how I can get it running again?
