painted ,but I would like to get some info on how to clean or remove the carb. and also why there is a separate oil reserved on the engine case? after searching all over the internet I was able to find out that its a 2stroke that mixes the gas and theI recently picked up my dads old dirt bike and I want to fix it up so my kids could use it and keep it in the family. Im sure it hasn't ran since the early 80s. It has the JT1 serial number and the bike is light blue. I don't know if it has been
If it's blue, that's not the original color.
Since the serial says JT1, take off the right engine case (3 or 4
screws). You will see the carb as well as the oil injector (when you
turn the throttle you will notice that the throttle cable has bees
split under the tank and pulls both the needle in the carb as well as
the pully to the left of the carb. the apperatis to the left is the
oil adding to the carb.
There is ONE screw that will release the carb and it is behind the
carb! The head of the screw is faced forward and is accessed by
taking a little round rubber deal off of the ver right of the case -
If U R looking at the carb, move right and look at the front of the
motor.. you'll see the round rubber deal that will pull out. take it
off and use a flat head screwdriver. The carb will just pull off.
Tear apart and clean.

today the bike started, thanks so much for all the help Gozer!now I just have to fine tune the air/fuel mixture or idle. what type of oil do I use for the transfer case??Awesome! Glad it got runnin'!!!! These bikes were really simple back
in the day and so were the fluids. I rebuilt mine and used Yamaha's
offering for 2 stroke injection in the oil reservoir (mixing with the
gas) and a synthetic 10-40 - the same thing I use in my modern 2
stroke MXers, BUT here's the kick - back in the day, as well as
recommeneded in the manual, is nothing but 30 weight motor oil! And
that simple oil worked for everything!
Okay, Bud! Hope your kids have fun!!!

Remove the top of the carb. The slide and choke stuff will all come straight out with the top. Pull the coil spring back out of the slide until you can see the funny shaped spring down inside the slide. Remove that with needle nose pliers while holdingOkay, Bud!
