I don't have time for much, but dammit, this thing RWP about 2+ years ago.

I've been meaning to figger it out, now it's in the workshop (as it were).

Little history-in pics- :brows:

Sweet little 2 smoke :rickey:

So....a little fresh go juice, some starting fluid, new plug, couple of kicks and....
yup :roost: she fired right up!
I did clean the card last month, so I wasn't too surprised.
Smoked me out of the workshop and my neighbor thought the house was on fire :lol2:
Seems like it had quite a bit of oil in there somewhere.

Now what?
I got a box -o-parts to reinstall,

then off to the flea market. Maybe by spring time?

Thanks Ken.

Got the ignition to work, but not the kill switch. At least it can be turned off now.

Put the rear light assembly back on and the front "which way" lights. Did a little touch up paint on front fender.

Pulled the tank. I'm gonna give it a light sand and may recoat it if'n I can't get it cleaned up.
I used Fusion on it with several coats of clear and it came out nice. I have spilled fuel on the tank a few times and it kinda gummed it up and the dirt is sticking. I think it looks ok, just used. So I'm not set on repainting.

What else? Maybe pull the wheels to clean the bearings and axle shafts, brakes, etc.
The cap to the oil tank broke, so I need to find a replacement.

Got it out into the sunshine today.
Decided to leave the paint as is, doesn't look that bad for being 30+ years old.
Still needs a good powerwash.
