The bike is in nice shape but has been sitting since 08. It does not run. I need to clean the carb. Any advice for doing this would be great. Thanks

Cheap way to off set the traditionally unfinished look of Japanese fenders and the silly tank base seam that the factories are too cheap to roll under where it belongs.

Does add a nice touch to some paint schemes tho...

Thanks Jay

Yea we didnt soak the parts. Just took it apart, cleaned and reassembled. no issues. I have the Clymer.

Fresh oil this morning and it should be ready to go. i took it for a ride last night and I have to say that I forgot how fun these little bikes are.
My son was all smiles!
