Well, my cruiser project was a whole lot of fun for about 10 minutes today. I got a thumb throttle, a real clutch lever, a gas cap that works, new fuel shutoff and line, flopped the bars down and figured out how to make a layback seatpost out of an old mountain bike bar end. I had it out running down the road for about 10 minutes in much more solid form than it's first rides. Felt good. And then the motor seized. Managed to keep it upright as I skidded to a stop. It wasn't just the chain bucking up into the gear. Some crap washed through the carb and tore up the cylinder and piston pretty bad, and gas was pouring out of the intake. so the cylinder and piston are toast, I took off the bowl of the carb and it was full of corrosion and particles of rust and gunk. In hindsight, I should have disassembled the carb before ever running this thing. I know nothing about the life this motor led before I got it for $30 bike and all, heavily used. I don't really see the point in replacing this by parts, it needs enough that I might as well just buy a new kit motor if I'm going to keep on this. Pondering options. This is what it looked like right before I tore apart the cylinder.
