[Honda-C70] 1981 C70 Restoration

 

Need advice...

I am restoring a barn find C70. Engine turns and I believe it has compression. I have cleaned the carb but need new o-rings all around.

I have taken of the right Crankase cover and found sludge on the bottom. I have cleaned most of it out, cleaned the filter, and cleaned the pump. Should I remove further parts here to get to more hidden sludge?

I have also taken off the cylinder head down to the piston and the taken the piston off. Since I am this far in is there anything I should do now before I replace gaskets and tighten everything back up? I am planing on replacing the piston rings.

The valves look rusty and the combustion chamber has much carbon build up. Should I dip everything in a parts cleaner?

Should I go into the transmission or should I leave that for if it aint broke dont fix it?

I am looking for the following parts...I can find most of them on the internet but I am looking for reliable sources.

81 Engine Gasket kit
Carb Kit
Keys
Seat
Piston Rings
Mirrors
Kick Start Rubber cover
Battery holder/strap
Tensioner Plug

Thanks everyone
