so im new to the forum and i have a sweet old '71 commando fastback that was found in my uncle's barn a few years ago. i originally started it as a school project and thats about over but i want to continue working on it after the project is due. it was last registered in '75 so its in pretty rough condition but i have always wanted a classic bike to own/fix so i started on the restoration:
using a fine steel wool to remove rust and polish it up a bit
i bought a new battery,
new spark plugs
new petcocks
new fuel lines
right now im attempting to make it run, i took the tops of the carbs off and they look to be in good condition inside. im still pretty much a novice at this so i was wondering if some more experienced guys on the forum had any advice for me on how to make this heap run. ill post some pictures soon.
