Hello, I'm new to the board and ready to annoy you with questions.
I have acquired a 68 CB450 for a dirt cheap price. The owner says it has been rebuilt/overbored once and last time ran in 1998. The rust is mostly surface. The toolbox is trashed. Carbs are rusted shut. Now the thing that bothers me is that it does not turn over. The kickstart is just stuck to where even lots of pressure yield no result. The gearshift goes 1-N-2-stuck.
Any ideas on what I should attempt first? Are the carbs worth rebuilding or is there an alternative?
