Question 1: 1982 CB900c Found muck inside the intake track. Stuck gas cap lock and some much needed help on sealing a tank.
Answer: From the images it appears that gas has been sitting inside of the intake and possible cylinders. You need to do a compression/Leakdown test. Getting your lock undone depends on how stuck it is but you will likely need to drill it out and open it from the outside in.

Leak down test:

Restoring inside of tank with Caswell Epoxy:

Question 2: Previous question feedback from Episode 2 1985 VT twin 500? 700?
Having low rpm throttle issues in all gears, but found an issue with the carb bodies.
Answer: Solve the carb body issue that hinders you from performing a proper carb sync and let us know how it goes!

Question 3: 1982 Kawasaki KZ750 LTD H3 harness issue. Possibly with a short to ground?
Answer: Pull all fuses out of the bike and start testing one by one. A possible short to ground on wires leaving the ignition switch could be your issue.
Question 4: Honda CB750 1981 excessive engine noise from upper to middle lower part of the engine.
Answer: Sounds like a lot of cam chain noise, could be some piston slap as well. Pull the valve cover off and check some things over. Might be a good idea to invest in a cheap borescope and look for any wear on the cylinder walls. Compression test on a cold motor will also show some results. We also did not know how many miles were on the bike.
