No haven't tried starting it yet. Removed battery to charge and gave bike a wash. Hasn't been started for 1 1/2 years so I thought I'd have son drain oil to see if there is any metal in oil and strainer. Then take carb off and clean it and air cleaner. Put fresh oil in and try and run it to see what's going on with it. Since it's supposed to be a learning experience for him it may take awhile till its running. Hopefully within a week.
I'm hoping that the reputation of these motors about being bullet proof will hold up and it's something simple. The motor oil looked black and not up on the stick very far. I'm thinking original owners (I'm 3rd owner) may of put it together and not check oil level? The foot pegs are put on backwards so they fold frontwards. So may not of been setup from the beginning very well, rj
