I'm back guys!

I picked up this elite 80 yesterday for 150 and a old mini bike frame.

It sat in a basement full of gas from 12 years but that saved it.

I opened the tank and the gas while not fresh did not varnish in the tank (carb unknown)

To get the carb off is a pain I have to remove the muffle and rear tire.

Sorry for the crappy cell pic.

Again, someone who takes worse pictures than Wheelman.

I gave it a shot of starting fluid and it started right up.

So the plan is replacing the fuel lines, tires and rebuild the carb.

Starting fluid and 2 strokes is a major NO-NO!. It washes all the oil off the cylinder walls and piston & rings which causes major wear. It can also blow out your reeds. If you must prime an engine, use a 32 to 1 gas and oil mix.

With a photo that bad, I think Bear did well to recognize it was a scooter.

Ok so I pulled the carb off looks perfect in it.

So who ever put it away pulled off a miracle.

here is how it sits.

I need to put the carb back on and replace the fuel lines and then patch the tube in the tire.

Got it running and put about 20 miles on it today.
