I found myself in a very similar situation a couple years back. I bought a non-running 79 750K in good shape for cheap. I was told the usual story about the carbs needing cleaning and no other issues. $2K and a complete bottom up engine rebuild later I have a great running bike! Granted, that was probably near the worst case senario. Despite the cost the project was one of the most rewarding I've done and I thoroughly enjoyed it! My only point here is let you know that getting these old bikes back in shape can be quite expensive depending on what you find.
