Re: Picked up a Burb this weekend

My 61 had been sitting since around 89-91. I lubed the cylinders and spun it around a while and after changing the coil and points it fired up with starting fluid. Even with bad gas in it it still ran ok. It cost about 100 bucks in parts after running a little. Normal stuff like water pump and fuel pump and wires. Carb cleaning /rebuild, new gas, tune-up and valve adjustment and you should be good to go.
