This isn't about my CB7, but it's not exactly platform-specific. I'm selling my 86 Accord tomorrow, and I want to get it started. The engine and transmission are already in crap shape, so I'm not really afraid of doing damage. The guy buying it is bringing a dolly to tow it home, and it will be nearly impossible to push this beast up onto it.
I want to get it started, but it's been sitting unstarted for almost exactly 7 years. I drained the fluids from the engine, transmission, and radiator almost as soon as I got it back to my house back then. It's been sitting dry ever since.
I don't need it to run well... I just need it to run.
Do you guys have any suggestions for me to get it started? It just needs to back out of the driveway and pull itself up onto the dolly. Nothing more. The buyer can push it off the dolly when he gets home and swap in the good engine and transmission that I'm giving him in the deal!
I plan on adding oil to both engine and trans (hopefully... maybe not trans.), and water to the radiator. Possibly starting it in gear in case there's any difficulty getting in gear (only need reverse and 1st)
It has no battery, so I plan on using a jumper pack to crank it.
