TOPIC:

I picked this girl up after having been garage kept and rode around the block for 34 years and parked in the last 2 by the owner. Wikipedia does not give me enough info on her so can someone clue me into what sort of find I have here? I'm used to wrenching on my own cars not bikes.

The tank is rusted and varnished pretty badly, but checking the lower parts of the tank that i can reach there is 0 push.

That flat front tire is the original tire it was shipped with.

Is restoring her or cleaning her up and reworking her the better option price wise?

wow, what a great find! it's like a brand new bike from 30 years ago

So what have you decided to do with this bike ?
Looks a pretty good find to me.

I'm going to get her running and leave her in her original condition with a few quality of life modifications. I did what I could cleaning the carbs and she fires right up with the choke on no problem. As soon as I turn the choke off she dies out. I need to pull them back apart and clean them again, but its cold and I need to buy tools for it. You can follow along with what i've done so far here. It's grinded to a halt since a friend is sleeping on the couch and I can't be banging away in the garage at 3 in the morning on my nights off.

i also own such a fat mum-
with such a rusted fuel tank it is useles Sto maintaince the carbs-
first fuel tank- than carb-change all fluid(brake -radiator-transmision and engine oil-lubricate all parts needed-change tyres and check bearings (steering&tyre)all fuses and electric curcuits.
Good Luck
