i have just recently bought a 1972 honda 750 cb that has been sitting for 11 years, but is still in good shape. When i got it home we got it to turn over once and since then it hasnt. i have replaced the battery, rebuilt the carbs,replaced the spark plugs, and replaced the coils. i have also checked and cleaned the little round filter that seperates my fuel tank from my fuel lines. When i try to start it, it sounds like it wants to turn over, but it just wont . i have tried manual starts, compresion starts, and just the regular ignition starts and still nothing. i am new to the bike world ,just learning as i go, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
