Decided to see if this bike would start after sitting for seven (7) years. I have a few of these (might need to take some parts from another which isn't running).
Started by washing it a little with a few buckets of water and rag.
The two stoke oil tank was removed a while back as was the air cleaner case (along with a lot of other parts). Cleaned those as well.
Reinstalled the two stroke oil tank:
Then reinstalled the air cleaner case:
Put the seat (needs reupholster) on it , sat down and tried kick starting it. Didn't start.
Popped the clutch a few times (ran along side the bike, jumped on and shifted into 2nd gear) and it started! See video below:
