suzuki dt55 sitting up for 10 years

[hadaveha]

I bought this motor a few weeks ago, Its been sitiing or should I say laying in a guys garage for 10 yrs, He told me that it allways ran great it just begain to jump out of gear in forward, Ill cross that bridge when I get to it, also the ignition key has been lost. Im looking for any advice as to getting it back in working order I did spin the flywheel the motor spins so I know its not locked up. Thankyou everyone

BUY A MANUAL!! Read my thread and don't make my mistakes. Rebuild the carbs/fuel pump, test the sensors. Run a 100:1 fuel oil mixture on top of your oil injection system for the first few tanks until you can verify that your oil level in the tank is actually dropping. Bottom end? Could be adjustment in shifter linkage or a deeper issue.
