I cleaned the carb. It still overflows. I think I need a new needle valve, but the pivot pin is kinda stuck. The jets looked OK. It will not idle though. I think I got everything clen but maybe not...

Maybe a new carb? They are cheap IIRC.

I changed the oil. The plug was a light tan and I gapped it to .028. It needs an air filter element. The metal screen basket is intact. It needs the little hose between the airbox and the carb. I'm thinking of bagging it for a universal Uni Filter...

The suspension is terrible of course. There is no oil in the forks. I took it up the hills by my house and had some fun.

The front tire was flat and very badly dry rotted and unsafe. I picked a spare out of Andy's take-off tire pile. Very nice Dunlop with 80% tread left. Free.

I used a spare tube I had laying around. Free.

I used 3 part filled random oil bottles I had. Free.

I adjusted the chain. It's in bad shape. A 428. May locate a new one.
