After checking the engine oil and seeing that it was find and no water has gotten in which the original owner was alleging, Mansu attempted and managed to turn the main pulley. But after checking the carburetor, it was full of gunk when we got it, so I took it off for general checking and cleaning. Washed the surface in soap and water before complete stripping. Lots of gummed up fuel and many bent lever and part which we managed to straighten. Cover screw threads are stripped as well as the mounting studs and throttle valve shafts are worn out and all leaky. Need to replace the carb soon but in the meantime a temporary fix to test the engine.
