Oh.. and the most important thing of all is the well known corrosion of the 3 prong plastic connector / 3 wires for the alternator charging system behind the left side cover just in front of the battery. The connectors/casing may be partially melted causing long term alternator failure .. Once you verify that the charging system is good at load, the simple fix is to eliminate the connector and solder the wires directly and shrink wrap them

Sorry I had a pretty good write up and advise for you that I accidentally deleted.
To summarize, if the carbs and other things have been worked in recently , all you probably have to do is verify the timing belt and replace it due to age as its an interference engine. The valve check and adjustment is very easy. Just take your time and the 1100 wings are fantastic bikes. Here’s my 82 standard with original Vetter fairing running like new at 65K miles.
Cheers and good luck![[Image: db4e1e75a9e7187596c8ac7239c5df4e.jpg]](https://cb1100forum.net/forum/uploads/imp/202006/db4e1e75a9e7187596c8ac7239c5df4e.jpg)
