1984 Honda VF1100s starting after that has been sitting for 30 years.

3 years ago

Friends moving out of State and gave me a 1984 Honda V65 Sabre. The motorcycle that has been sitting for 30 years. Rear brake locked, clutch reservoir dried that let air in the hydraulic system. Outlet of the fuel tank totally plugged. All 4 carburetors dried out. Engine cranked and not seized.
The compression test all cylinder has good compression ~150 psi. The compression tester is a handheld type with the rubber cone press in the spark plug hole. This is for a quick test for compression to make sure all head valves function.
I used the small pump that pump the fresh gasoline to fill the carburetors reservoir and start the engine. After the engine run about 27 seconds that make me happy. I'll make a temporary gasoline bottle for the next engine idle run test
Tested date: October 17-2021
