A little back story - I have a very nice Golden Eagle Bike engine, that I used to run all the time. But due to my location, and the location of my job the past five years, it has sat neglected.
Today, I rolled it up to the shop, aired up the tires (New tube time, methinks) and attempted to start the engine. Didn't start, and I imagine the carb is pretty dirty, as well as the primer bulb being cracked. I've ordered a new bulb - but the question I need to ask the Motoredbikes Brain Trust is this: Is there anything unusual to look for in this little carburetor while I have it apart? Any nasty suprises? I dissect motorcycle carbs with no difficulty (Including my TM40 flatslide pumper carb on my DR650) so I'm hoping this one will be easier - just smaller.
