so i just got home with a 1980 cb750 I picked up for 250. Not in bad condition either just won't run. let me just start by saying this is my 2ND cb750c So I am pretty familiar  with them. so I will tell you a little about this one and what I know so far. Got it home and battery readout it on charge 2.5 amp over night hooked up next morning still dead so jumped it on my truck and it turned over fine. Opens the gas cap smelled gas and seemed to be soso not sure if it's bad kinda smells boarder line. Then noticed gas line wasn't hooked to carbs. Hooked it back up and left the gas off, I wanted to see if I was getting spark, took one plug out and it was not getting spark then took out one of the other spark plugs from the other cool and I get spark so put a little gas in cylinder and it hit a lick. So what should I do from here to determine if cool is bad? any ideas? Also I plan to make a bobber or cafe racer out of this one not sure which.
