Hey Everyone
I dont really know much about bikes I just bought one so I could dive in and start figuring it out.
I bought the bike in nov and cleaned the carbs and replaced this broken bolt where the points are. The bike started fine and I rode till dec when it started to snow. So I put it in storage until april. When I got it out it wouldnt start. So I replaced the battery fuses and spark plugs but still no good. I also realized that I forgot to put one of the spark plugs in while it was in storage so I hope the cylinders are not rusted. Also I tried to make sure it had spark by putting the plug on something metal and kicking it but the kick seems to be locked up. It will move about 5 in down but wont go far enough to actually kick it.
Any Advice?
also I live in chicago so if anyone is nearby and would help me I would be eternally grateful.
