I bought a 1978 CB750K a year ago. It's a very clean 15-thousand-mile bike. It sat for a little over 2 years before I got it. Carburetors were rebuilt, according to the paperwork just before being stashed in the garage. When I got it home I tried to start it but no joy. Number one carb started leaking and I feared that a gasoline fire might erupt so I stopped right there. I went back to work on my 1959 Triumph TR3 but now that it's getting close to complete, I'd like to take another stab at the 750. Is there any chance I could remove the carbs and wash them down with carburetor cleaner, reinstall and start the bike or should I spend the 500 bucks to rebuild the carbs again. Thanks for the feedback!
