Allow myself to introduce... Myself...

URL=http://s1200.photobucket.com/user/Greg_Abache/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsscxo9c5j.jpg.html]Image[/URL][url][/url]Hi there my fellow CB650 enthusiast!! I just picked up a sweet 650c from its original owner with only 8200 miles. I have been into the oldies for about 5 years now, but new to the CB game. Now although I have a garage full of tools and am by no means a mechanic. I would say novice level but I do love tinkering and modifying and customizing! Now this bike does run but won't stay running when the choke is off. I'm certain it's a carb issue and will do some interweb searching before I post a tech question. Although I have never done a carb cleaning (removing carbs and dissassembling and replacing jets, floats, etc) I am a beast at the YouTube channel! LOL. I am currently in the process of tearing it down b/c I want to build a scrambler so I have a lot of extra parts I don't need. Is eBay my best bet for selling? Anyways Hi everyone!

I'll take the back rest before you hack it up. The exhaust looks ok to before a chop.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!
