The intake and exhaust manifold gaskets could use replacing with quality ones, best to cut your own from good, comparatively thick gasket material. Just ask at your local auto parts store to see what they have, NAPA is a good bet. The ones that come with the kit are usually junk. See if you can't dig up a O-ring to seal between the carb and the intake manifold, you don't get one with the kit - and that fitting leaks like **** w/o one.
Obviously you would need lube the chain, but a lil tip - use motorcycle chain lube not bicycle, it holds up much longer. 'Parafilm' is a waxy type I used on my dirtbikes and now use on my MB, it lasts forever!
All the cables need lube too, the clutch and throttle cables are pretty much dry when you get them. Don't forget
inside the twist grip, where the plastic chafes the housing. Any cable lube will do, I've never been able to tell any difference anyway lol
Last but not least would be a TINY amount of grease between the big and little gears under the clutch housing. You wanna use a very good, thick grease for this, a marine grade if you can find it - but only say a dab 1/2 the size of a pencil eraser or less. You
do not want excess grease flinging into your clutch, so clean up any old stuff while yer in there.
Other than basic bicycle stuff - I think that covers it, one of the charms of these things is they're so simple.
Yer gonna have a blast
