them old rusty ones are lots of fun!! very first thing, change the oil, need good clean oil inside the motor do quick compression test for stuck valves, cheapo tester will work or even finger jammed tight onto spark plug hole will pinpoint a stuck valve, air pushing back thru carb is stuck intake valve try adding some 2 stoke oil to your gas, might get some oil down on those rusty valve stems some boys try bit of ether sprayed in the carb to help her get popping, but some boys try ether in just about anything, like the banging kinda sounds it makes try towing or push starting it, might get it spinning fast enuf to light off some extra cylinders, once it runs, pour bit of auto trany fluid down carb real real slow, will smoke like nobodys business but lubes the valve stems real good
