Alright guys Im new to the forum and i kinda need some help on this project i started as i know not much of small engines.
I have recently come across Two Honda big reds both early 1980's.
One of them sat up for 21 years at my grandpas house.(Been sitting before i was born)
The other one Sat up for 6 years at a friends house.
After pulling the 20 year sitter out from under a tree wrapped in vines i drained the oil and cleaned the gass tank. After that i Attempted to start it up. and with one squirt of starting fluid and 1 pull it started first try. It refuses to stay running without starting fluid though. So i stopped messin with it so i wouldn't mess it up anymore than it already is.
The one that sat up for 6 years is a piece of trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro so it became a parts bike.
As i said before im new to small engines. So i need some advice on what i need to do to start this restoration project.
I do not know what to start with. If anyone can supply me with a check list on how to begin a restoration That would be absolutely great.
