I am not a professional, but I am a very diligent person who performed a total rebuild of my 79cb750f. I used my Clymer guide and various YouTube videos on some of the harder spots. I had the carbs professionally rebuild and used OEM parts when restoring each system.
Everything works including upgrading my lighting to LED, new coils, plugs, spark generators, entire braking systems etc.
The only thing i did not do is remove the pistons and the lower engine assembly.
I've owned the bike since 1985, had the valves redone at 12k miles about 1 year before i stored it in my garage in 1998. It has 14.4K on it now, and its totally rebuild.
IT SIMPLY WILL NOT START. The timing is perfect, the spark is perfect, the carbs are perfect. It simply turns over repeatedly. I've tried switching the coils, putting drops of oil in the head, using starter fluid, putting gas directly in the cylinders. NOTHING works. I barely get a backfire. I have oil pressure and compression. It all checks out. I diligently placed the cams back according to the guide and took pictures.
Any ideas are welcome at this point. There are few professionals in my area who would work on it.
