Hey Everyone,
I picked up this non-running cb350 last October in a fit of delusion about my available amount of time, money and skill. (I don't have enough of any.)
I've been lurking since then, planning my attack. I think I'll do a build thread, if only to document the misadventures of a non-mechanical cheapskate in the hopes that no other newb ever repeats them.
As it stands now, I think I've run into some electrical issues. And as much as I know nothing about engines, I really know *nothing* about electrical. When I push the starter, I get absolutely nothing. (The idiot light is on, and dims slightly when the button is pushed.) If I try to kickstart, it "whuff, whuffs" during the kick, but nothing after.
This place is awesome with information. I can't believe how much help is in here and hoping that with some of that help, I'll be able to get this thing on the road by June!
Thanks for reading,
John
