1999 CB750 here.
Bike has been sitting for 6 months, I stopped riding because the starter motor wouldn't fire, I just heard a click coming from the starter solenoid so I replaced that and still, just a click, so I had to back burner my bike due to school. Got back into it, I took off the cover to the starter and dumped out a bunch of carbon powder (I'm assuming from brush wear) and now the starter works but engine wouldn't turn over, obviously because the carbs were dirty from the months of sitting with gas in the bowls. So I cleaned the carbs; now I need to figure out how to prime the bowls so that the jets have gas to feed the engine. I watched a video that said to use a battery charger to activate the fuel pump in order to avoid killing the battery trying to fill the bowls via repeated start attempts. If anyone knows the location of the fuel pump and how to access it or any other methods of priming the carb bowls, any help would be appreciated.
