Hi All.
Much thanks to 66sprint for assisting me in getting my brain to think and powering the old CB400 Hawk. It's an 81.
So I had it running. The engine started right up but hadn't been run for unknown number of years. The kick start arm does not return and made a noise until I returned it to vertical. There is another noise though and am wondering what it could be. Valve adjustment? Thanks for any help.
Edit: It's a bit of a testament to the durability of these bikes to actually start on the first kick after years of neglect.
