Okay great advice. Well I managed to vacuum out as much as I could with a strong shop vac from the cylinders. I did turn the engine over. I can't really do a compression test then if I'm not supposed to turn the engine over, right? My plan is to take the engine out, clean it up, and disassemble a good bit of it and see what I'm working with before I make any decisions. I kind of like the idea of an older engine, as I would like to have a Kickstarter. I am also tempted by other bikes that are out there. I know this is a vintage Honda forum, but there is a 1981 kz750 that has had a lot of engine work done and the paperwork to back it up. The guy says it only needs a battery and a chain. Plus it has inverted CBR Forks installed and he is only asking $500! So many options!
