here are a couple pictures of the engine in the $50 burned truck

Do you guys think it runs? I may have a hard time rebuilding the carb.

B-12 will clean that carb right up.... add a new gasket here and there, and it'll fire right up

Change the carb out,clean it up....I say new gaskets and seals everywhere are in order..As are wires,plugs,cap,etc...New oil,and all,maybe...Hard telling what junk has gotten into the intake...

A sandblaster?

Seriously, looks like the chome is toast in a couple of places - I'd blast 'em and paint 'em.

As for the engine, definitely teardown time IMHO - I'm betting you've got a rock-solid core but I sure wouldn't just try to clean it up, fix a few seals and start it...
