The best things in life are...

I recently got a 2003 Honda Shadow 750 ACE in a similar manner. It had been sitting for 3 years and wouldn't even start because the carbs were in such bad shape.

I pulled the carbs over the weekend, cleaned them up, put everything back together, and test rode it last night. Fun bike!

Not sure of your experience level with carbs, but if you need any help, feel free to PM me. I also did a video of the teardown that I still need to put on Youtube if that would help you out.

What year is it? I found a service manual online for '02-05 I *think* ? I'll have to verify the years, but if it fits what you have, I'll gladly send it to you. Definitely came in handy.
