Ok, so we've had the Scrambler now for about two weeks and she finally turned over today.
The bike is a 1973 Honda CL350 Scrambler with 25,000 miles.
It's in good shape for a 33 year old bike, though it didn't run when we bought it. The owner cited bad gas in the engine, turned to varnish and gumming up the works. I began to clean it yesterday and today, with some help from Rich, I got the throttle unstuck.
She turned over and roared loudly. It'll be a whle before she purrs, but it's really thrilling to hear the engine for the first time.
The electrical system and starter seem to be in good shape. I'll follow with pix and descriptions of the probable carb rebuild we'll be doing.
