1970 Suzuki T125 (Twin)

This is the other bike my brother gave me and like the Cushman, it too had been sitting over 10+ years also. The gas tank had rotted through, the carbs, petcock and lines were clogged with the gas & oil from the auto lube which hardened like glue.
Recently started fixing the tank, and after another inside cleaning I will coat the inside with a gas tank sealant either Kreem or Red Coat. The metal is so thin I decided to use JB Weld to seal all the holes and damage on the underside of the tank.
Carb rebuild kits are on the way and I have a gallon of Chem Dip Carb cleaner ready to start on them
I put new tires and tubes on as the old were cracking apart.
The bike got rusted and pitted and have been cleaning it up so it’s now a “looking good at 10 feet or more”, however the chrome on the rims was good so they cleaned up great.
I do have all the parts for the bike and the rubbers for the tank cleaned up and softened like new.
The electrical is all fine and tested and I have spark too!
Went looking on ebay for parts and the prices are insane. There is a new headlight bulb for over $500!
