These are rugged reliable great machines but parts are getting harder to find.
You have to remove quite a few body parts to remove the carb or set the valves, so every fastener may be stuck with corrosion. Consider spraying Deep Creep in every nut and bolt you can see, use the best screwdrivers, six-point sockets, etc you can find to remove them. Make sure you are flat on the bolts and nuts so you don’t round them.
Use antiseize when reinstalling.
