[QUOTE="BigredGrizzly, post: 211970, member: 4538"] Alright... I did a bit more this afternoon. I got into the carb and it really wasn't too bad. Cleaned it out good with carb cleaner and compressed air. It didn't look like it needed my ritualistic carb cleaning process which involves Berrymans Chem Dip. That stuff is amazing. Just gotta remove all the rubber gaskets. Otherwise they expand and will not go back on properly. I know from experience... Lol. The sprockets and chain are whooped. New ones are on the way..
