I have just bought this model to use as my ´learner´ bike. It has been sitting out in the weather (in Florida) for several months. It was running when the guy parked it but there has to be some stuff done to it before I can try to run it. The battery is dead, which I took off today to buy a new one. But the carburetor is leaking on both sides from where they attach, so I may need to replace it. Can you send me a pic of your bike? Oh, and where are you located???
