The wheel turns side to side while spinning it in the air, similar happens riding it and letting go of the bars. Could it be due to steering shaft alignment with straight handlebars out due to fall? How can source be confirmed? If it is fork tubes/bent parts/frame, how expensive of a fix is this? This is the biggest concern, that it is a major expensive repair, if so, not sure worth it to invest in it with long list of issues, vs getting something else.

There is no drain hose. The extra hose is a vacuum hose that opens the petcock when the engine is running. Leaking from there indicates a leaking diaphragm. Is the float bowl drain screw stripped (turns without tightening) or is the head messed up so you can't turn it? Ducatiman here runs an excellent carburetor restoration service and may be of some help.

The head of the screw was stripped so couldn't grab/turn it to drain float bowl on one side. Need a gasket, or new petcock also?

That probably indicates that the battery is discharged or needs replacement, or connections are dirty.

Cleaned the connections, though was unsure why the power terminal on the starter motor had so many washers/nuts/spacers on it, also tried without those. Any photo of how they are supposed to go together? Could not find it online. Thought if battery, should get weak crank, but got distinct loud solenoid click instead when it didn't work, then tapping on starter motor let it turn and crank, did not seem like weak battery.

Adjust clutch per manual and see if engagement is better. These clutches are known to clunk at slow idle due to rubber bushings getting bad. It's mostly an annoyance.

To adjust play in cable at levers and at engine? Or need to open the actual clutch?
