Hey guys I picked up a '78 cb750k(sohc) right before winter and ran it a few times before putting it away. I'm really anxious to check it over before the spring season starts, however..
The bike is hard to start cold. With choke out, I can hold the starter for 5 minutes before I get much coughing and firing. I felt with my hand that at least one exhaust pipe at the head was still stone cold, while the other three were warm to the touch(firing, I assume). When it does fire up its difficult to hold the idle without throttle input. Once I've been running/riding it, restarting is not as much of a problem. Any ideas where to look first? Overall the bike is in great condition, all original.
Thanks in advance.
