Where to buy new scooter parts? (gaskets, float, etc)

A friend just dropped off an 85 spree NQ-50 at my house in hopes that I could get it started for him. It has 72 original miles on it and is possibly the cleanest 21 year old anything I have ever seen.

All I really know about it is that the battery is dead and its sat for like 18 years at this point. So I am wondering where can one get the gaskets sets and other such small items for a scooter like this. I figure my first attemps to get it running will be new gaskets for the carb, plug and a battery. All relatively cheap I would think.

I had found some powersports site a week ago which had diagrams and most of the common parts available but I havent been able to find it since. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I think the only gasket in the carb is the one for the bowl. I wouldnt even worry about it unless its dripping from the top of the bowl. Just douse the * out of it with carb cleaner and make sure the jets are clear.

Edit:

Oh and the bystarter O ring. Thats an important one. Also there is an O ring and a gasket on the plastic insulator that the carb mounts to. I made my own gaskets with some cork-like gasket paper.

After its running I'd add tires, belt, aircleaner foam to his or your list.

Thanks for the help guys. Any other parts that I should know about? I only picked it up last night and was going by what I know on my vespa.

So for parts I should just go to any honda powersports dealer and they should be able to order what I need?
