Hey everyone, this is my first post here. I am fairly mechanically inclined as I have worked on muscle cars as a kid, currently have a Pro Street 79 Camaro Z28 roller that I am trying to get on the road but am currently suffering from lack of motivation on that project.
I have a friend in bad health with an 80 Yamaha 400 Special he wants to get running to sell it. Has less than 5000 miles but hasn't been started in a few years.
I changed plugs, air filters, changed oil/filter, emptied tank and filled with Seafoam. Drained Seafoam from carbs and going to empty that in the morning.
But my only problem I see right now is the throttle does not move at all. I can see it pulling at the carb, but the carb shaft does not turn at all.
This is the first time I have worked on a motorcycle, not too sure of the carbs anatomy to understand why it's not moving.
Anyone have any ideas where I should start looking?
