Good for you, I think this will be good for both you and your brother.

Speaking of the fuel filter, you should probably replace it. Gas that old has a nasty habit of finding ways to obstruct small passages. As an example, last week I started a similar project on a 1986 Honda VF1000R that has been sitting for a long time, perhaps more than 20 years. The fuel tank was half-full, but even though I could blow air back into the tank through the lines, not a drop of fuel would flow the other direction.

Any rubber fuel lines will be hard as a rock and dangerous, although that can probably wait until you get the thing running.

There are a million Internet forms out there, when you get into this project in detail it will be worth your time to learn more about the specifics of each step that you take. No matter what you do, there’s always some guy that’s already done it and documented it for perpetuity on the Internet.

Good luck, and have fun.
