pclark1971's blog: "1981 honda CB650"

I bought this 1981 honda CB650  which hasn't been driven for 26 years. It was garage kept and  i bought it for 800 dollars.

I cleaned out the carbs, They were very gummy and the gas tank had a lot of rust in it, I finally drove it today, and got it up to 55 mph. Which is much better than yesterday. At 4000 rpms the motorcycle would bog down and would die and not restart.

The only bad thing that happened on it this time, was the accelorator cable snapped and i had to push it home. I cleaned up all the dirt on it and repainted the gas tank. ( it looks new) and that was all that i did to it today.

I will take pics of it and put them on my site when i'm done with it.
