Hi all, I'm new to the forum, thought it would be a good place to come for some advice.
I've got a 1986 Honda Shadow 750 which has been laid up in the garage for years. I will be moving soon so it has to go. I used to ride it and the ole girl always started, but after fitting a new battery, it refuses to start. I took the carbs out thinking maybe they'd got gummed up, and thought I'd buy a new service kit. I ordered one from a local dealer but that was over a year ago. Haven't seen it yet.
My question is why would the bike not go after being laid up for a few years?
And where do I go for several spare parts that I think I need to get the bike back on the road and ready to sell to someone who's going to ride her?
The parts required are a twin carb service kit, a fuel on/off/reserve tap, and a fork seal kit.
Failing this, does anyone know of a good mobile m/c mechanic covering the North Auckland area?
