thanks for the reply andy. I've spent the last three hours working on it, and i have quite a bit of information now. It does not currently run. The chain is rusty and wd-40 freed it up a lot. I can wheel it around now without too much drag. The spedometer works, once it has been moving for a few seconds, so ( i believe) the generator works. The tires and tubes are good, i pumped it up yesterday and they\'re still hard. However... the fuel system is very upset. it was stored with a small amount of gas (~12 oz) in the tank, and every valve, tube and seal from the opening at the bottom of the gas tank to the carburator's filter (small round plastic/mesh filter underneath a beige cap. I beleive this to be the fuel filter) is clogged. I've still got work to do, but it's coming along. see attached:
correct me if i'm wrong but
A - Condeser (powers and regulates spark plug)
B - Carb airbox
C - Carburator
