A guy at work told me he had an old dirt bike in his garage that he was going to take to the dump. *He said the tires were flat and it only ran with the choke on.
I went and picked it up last Friday. *Saturday I put air in the rear tire, put an innertube in the front tire, and took the carb apart. *It took some work to get all the gunk out of the jets, but it now starts on the first kick and runs like a champ.
Saturday afternoon I taught my 10 yo son how to use a clutch and taught my 8 yo daughter how to ride my sons clutchless XR 70.
I have about $26.00 in this bike ($20 for innertube and new air filter, $6 for lunch for the guy who gave it to me), I feel just like Skool's Out. ;D

Yes it is pink, my son doesn't mind.
