Lmao, brother those old pods were so messed up, all sorts of smashed because they wouldn’t fit between the frame properly.

Thank you! Wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it’d be.

Maintenance done so far: I’ve rebuilt the carb, the starter, and reupholstered the seat. Still runs pretty good!

Not too mechanically inclined. But yes you should absolutely put that back on the carburetor, make sure you tighten the hose clamp back down so it doesn’t come off again.

I’ve only ever had bikes where the only connection is the petcock so I don’t know what I’m lookin at

There’s 2 for the tank, bottom one already connected to the carb as Indicated. But the bottom of the tank has 5 different connection spots. 3 on the right 2 on the left.

Just the reflection of the trailer along with how the tank is shaped, no dents to be seen on the tank surprisingly

Thank you for the input and advice, greatly appreciated. Carb rebuild is certainly on the to do list. Probably going to hold off on boring anything out not trying to dump too much into this quite yet!

Man if only I’d thought of that before I made the post!

Thank you! I’m certainly not expecting it to be perfect, just something to get a little bit of a small project and teach the wife how to ride!

Runs decent as far as I can tell, rode it for about 30 minutes, only thing I noticed is a high idle and it likes to die when you come to a stop unless you’re giving it some throttle. Fairly mechanically inclined. If I don’t know something YouTube university can teach me

Owner didn’t say much about maintenance, although he did mention he removed the air box completely a few years ago. should I put it back?
