Thanks for the reply Charlie. Yes, the inside of the carb is amazing! I figured the gaskets would be shriveled up though. Heck, they didn't last a year back then let alone almost 40. The newer ones are much better. I'm with Mike on the oil filter & gas tank thing. I would suggest an oil and filter change if you plan on running it. If the filter comes off ok you could always spin it back on for judging. I just wouldn't run it till it was spun back off though.
