Phase one: getting the work space ready. Spent a good deal of the day cleaning in the garage and explaining to my brother-in-law that NO I had not tried to start it, and that I probably would not try to start it for several months. No sense risking damage until I know what is going on in there.
Just ordered the Clymer manual and my first NOS parts... gotta replace the foam grips with the original rubber because they are so crusty I cannot hardly stand to push the thing around the garage.
