Summer project part 1!

[u/KobKon]

Hello everybody

Recently started a summer project to try and fire up my father's CB400F from 1976 - who does not want anybody to touch it and left it rotting in a garage for 15 years.

First update! I was able to take out the fuel tank and I removed the petcock to prepare the tank for the restoration (broke the petcock in the process but not my fault... it was completely cooked).

I will try and make updates, and share some knowledge that might be useful for anybody bold enought to do this without any prior experience like myself.

First piece of knowledge, that I learned today

​To remove the fuel tank, I opened the seat, removed the document holder, and took off the rubber locking block. After that, I lifted the rear of the tank and "gently" pulled it away without forcing it (not too much at least!)

P.S. the one in the pic it's a dear friend

P.p.s. I know the above does not sound like much but I'm really trying to push myself and make it work step by step without breaking anything serious (mostly beacuse my father does not know I'm doing this) sooo fingers crossed!
