Bought a 600 that had been sitting for 10 years. only 9xxx miles and super clean. I will get some pick up soon when I get them uploaded somewhere.
upon my inspection, 3 major things came out that I hope someone can help me with :
unable to open the gas cap
no clutch - described as riding along and went to shift gears and nothing
carbs
gas cap seems to be frozen/rusted in place. have squirted liberal amounts of wd40 down the key slot and have managed to move it maybe 10 deg
when grabbing the clutch lever I could see the cable moving at the handle bar end at least, but no resistance. once home, I removed the plastics and was able to get down to the sprocket over. I could see the throw out gear thing moving in an out like it shout I supposed. once removing the cover I was able the move the push rod as well inward until it hit apparently another rod located inside the case. the Clymers book doesn't really go into much detail on this area, so I am not sure if that seem correct, but looking at the parts diagram and reading what I could this seems like what goes on. is this a problem area for these bikes? anyone been down this road before?
carb seem to be fairly straight CV style carbs, so shouldn't be too difficult.
thanks for any help and will post some pics as I move forward
