That's a long driveway!
My '81 DOHC, when it was running, would fire up within probably 5, 10 seconds. I would ride slowly out of the trailer park, and have most of the power by the end.
If its seriously taking that long to even start and idle, then something sounds amiss. But it won't run on only 1 or even 2 cylinders firing; it needs 3 to run. If it were my bike, I would find which cylinder isn't firing and look into the carb. If its the same cylinder every time, likely carb. If its different, perhaps gas? Or dirty bowls fouling up the jets?

Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?
