Hey guys. Last night I took a ride on my 71 cb175, which I recently did a major overhaul on, and about 10 minutes in it just cut out on me and wouldn't start back up. It felt like it was a fuel issue but I've checked petcock, lines, filters, floats, everything is in good working order. thought maybe it was the coil so I checked spark and we're good there too. I don't have any way to check compression at the moment but bike had been running very strong until now. It leaks a little oil now and then from the left side on the Honda logo, assuming it's an old gasket, but it's been like that for a while and haven't had any problems. It's got brand new carbs, good battery, good intake, kind of scared of what the problem could be at this point. any ideas? would really appreciate some advice thank you
