I'd like to drop in and thank everyone who popped in to give me advice. I ended up grabbing 2 KL-1200 rebuild kits (http://www.siriusconinc.com/pro-detail.php?pid&product_id=2906) and replacing everything. The right side was more gross than I'd like (http://imgur.com/SsZciAX), but the left was...

I'm also planning on going to this.

Hello neighbor, I'm in Greer as well. Accordingly to the FB group, they're meeting at Mac's for the foreseeable future because of construction around Handlebar.

Coincidentally, I have this kit sitting on my desk right now. I didn't do enough research and it turns out I need the KH-1200F for my 722a's. The correct kit is on the way now. Do you have a recommendation where I can find decent jets? I actually just ordered the Main/Secondary off of DCC to...

I'll give them another soak and see if it makes a difference. The absolute very first thing I did was do a compression test, before I even bought the damn thing. The results weren't awe-inspiring, ~135 in each cylinder, but that doesn't seem that bad for cold/non-running for 20 years. Perhaps...

I hadn't thought of metal polish/qtips yet. I'll give that a shot.

Thanks for confirmation. At this point, it must be a fuel issue. I've been going down a rabbit hole of issues bringing this bike back to life. It was last started in '92. I've spruced up the carbs (no rebuilding yet), installed new plugs, changed the oil, new battery (full charged when I try...

Hey folks, Sorry if this subject has already been answered. I did a search, but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for. (bad search fu, apparently). I'm troubleshooting my '72 CB350 not starting and I've read that these bikes are very particular about a weak spark. I'm on what I assume...

Do you have a paint code for this? Terrific color.

I'm actually in Greer as well! I just use Greenville as my location when I'm introducing myself to a bunch of strangers :)

Fantastic! I'm probably going to take you up on that once I've sorted out my ignition and get this damn thing running. I've heard about the Handlebar meetup and I've been meaning to make it there, but schedule never permits. I'm sure I'll make it there this spring. Is there a forum/meetup...

Hello! I've been lurking around for some time and I've decided to finally join, so let me introduce myself. My name is Jacob and I live in Greenville, South Carolina. I'm currently fixing/building a '72 CB350 that I nabbed off of craigslist for a song. Before this CB, I had a CB650SC that I...
