I appreciate all the info guys and going by what you guys are saying, it is just a run of the mill machine - nothing to special.
Which is fine for me as it was just a $20 purchase and a project for me and my boy.
I think the good news for me is I dont have to go looking for parts that cost more than my first car!
Does anyone have any idea on how to clean up the exterior motor and carb i.e a bath in some sort of solution? also are people painting them or just bringing them back to their former glory by cleaning them?
