Well, it seems as though you have a good solid beginning for your project. (As opposed to a "basket case"). Being a mechanical engineer, you already know the importance of instructions. A good service manual is invaluable. Aftermarket is OK, Factory is better. If the carburetor was drained, I hope the fuel tank was drained also. I would check it for rust scales which could get into the system and cause carburetor problems. Any rust should be cleaned out before putting fuel in it. In worst case scenarios, there is a place called The Eastwood Company that sells cleaner and coating for fuel tanks.Is the engine free? Most will advise you to put a little oil or trans fluid into each cylinder and rotate the engine by hand to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls and piston rings. Of course this will make it smoke for a few minutes when it is fired for the first time. The small puddles of oil likely mean that some seals have dried out over the years and may have to be renewed. The straight sheet metal is a definite plus. And the flat front tire should be no major problem, LOL And good luck and keep us posted, maybe some photos from time to time. Lowell H.
