honda cb500 starting it after 30 yrs outside and froze up kelly kryger and paul stemerick

heres a 1972 honda that has sat outside since 1976, i got it free off of craigslist, i just wanted the parts for my 69 triumph, motor was froze up head was destroyed, and it had sank into the ground about 3-4 inches when i picked it up. my buddy paul who has never worked on a honda motorcycle in his life, worked on it for a month every weekend got the motor unstuck then rebuilt the head, but it wasnt savable, so he bought one off ebay for $70.00 then we tore the carbs apart cleaned them blew them out real good and paul put it all back together we added a little gas and you see the results, a nice running 72 honda, we will update you as the build goes on....we are not done yet! give us ideas on what we should do and send money along with ideas, we may even do a tv show if the cash is right....lol
