Storage for 30 years HELP

[Nam Point Man]

I have a CB750E, it has been in storage for 30+ years (Not locked up) Need advice on what to do first?? Change oil, clean carbs ? or just put fuel in and try to crank?

Do everything. Oil changed, do all the maintanence adjustments, pull the bowls on the carbs and see what it looks like and that will determine if you need to do the carbs....which more than likely they are really bad after all those years. At least pull the jets and clean them out. I would spray some WD in the cylinders to lubricate the top end after all the years. Pull a couple of the caps on the valve cover on the carb side and pour some oil in there to get some oil on the cam and rockers. Do a search on here also because it has been asked a lot and I am tired of typing

Pretty cool, especially like the front end. Is it a '71 or '72?

Thank You, Dirtdigger

Just pulled the carbs, not too bad would not have started. This is a 1970 CB750E. I have kicked it over by foot a couple of times, compression seems strong

The most important thing you need to do is get a picture of your wife sitting on the back!
