1982 maxim 750 starting problem

Bumped started regularly a month ago. Can't get it to go now. It went for a minute today in 2nd gear but died quickly. Lost of starter fluid. New plugs put in. Don't know much anything will help..post pics videos links any how tos. Bought it for 100$ kid said it would never electric start he just push starts it. Haven't cleaned carbs yet. Any videos or explanations on how to exactly get them off and clean them. That linkage looks scary haha.

 

Oh my. You have lots of work to do. Assume that no maintainance has ever been done and you won't go wrong. $100 is a steal, so your all-in price for recomissioning the bike is going to be dead-cheap

Start with: The Information Overload Hour. Pay attention to the links that cover most of the re-comissioning needs.


Carb info:
In the Church of Clean
The Secret Life of Carburetors
Wet Setting Fuel levels

Valves are just as important as carbs: Airhead Valve Adjustment

Brakes are a big safety item that are often neglected. Rebuild the calipers, master cylinder, and replace the pads, shoes, and brake lines.

Is the bike stock, or has it been altered? (please say that it has the airbox on it).
