My new (to me) GZ

[mainiac]

Hello all, I finally got a little time to check out my GZ that was given to me by a co-worker. The spring of 15 he pulled it out of his basement and couldn't get it to go. Some how he had thought it was an electrical problem. Anyway he threw a tarp over it and there it set till last month. He mentioned that he was going to have it hauled off for junk. I couldn't have that so I went and brought it home. I was surprised how well it looked after being outside so long. The cdi unit and regulator were in a baggy so I put them back on the bike and pulled the plug and was surprised to find it had fire. Pulled the carb and it was plain to see why it would not start. I pulled the jets and put them in dip over night. (I will give it a proper cleaning as soon as I get new O-rings) Put it back together and added some fresh fuel and it started right away. Went for a test ride last night and it seems to go pretty well. I need to do some neglected maintenance and inspect the tires as I really don't know the history of it. I will try to get some pics tomorrow. Thanks
