Bringing this back up from the dead.

Im starting up on the rebuild, but i have some questions.

1. Cam Chain tensioner...i wasnt present during the tear down, so is there a source to look at for reassembly of this part? The manual shows a cave man diagram of it.

2. I bought the tool to pull the bottom end apart. My question is do i really want to? To refresh, i bought a bottom end that is supposedly good and i trust the guy. I want to be relatively sure that it is without pulling the bottom apart. Can i turn the motor by hand and shift through the gears and be able to tell it is good that way?

3. What about needing to clean out the bottom end since it has been open for a while? any need?

This is my first real rebuild. I rebuilt a 47cc pocket rocket once, but thats it as far as rebuilding goes. I am mechanically inclined however.

Thanks guys

I cant wait to get back on the road this spring!
