I'm starting a rebuild on an '87 cr500.
Wanted to run it up the road just to make sure everything worked before ripping it apart.
First attempt I snapped the foot piece off the kicker
Fitted a later model cr500 kicker on for starting dutys.
It's been sitting around for a while as the air filter was bone dry,muffler packing was blown out.
So I stripped and cleaned the carby,oiled the air filter/fuel and repacked the muffler.
Started easy enough.
