just picked this bike up, i need a new float and carb rebuild kit, but I cant find any info on the carb model, can anybody help me out?

where can I find the rubber o ring and shim for where the carb mounts to the intake spigot? mine are old and cracked and the bike barely runs due to an air leak from them. none of the carb rebuild kits have them and I can’t find any online. thanks

I know it’s a 429 but I want to see the engine. I CANNOT find the latch. I found one right under the hood on top of the grill, but it seems to be a secondary latch. is there a primary one im missing somewhere?

generous neighbor gave me this bike while I was ironically walking my other bike home after it died on me. he said he thought it had a cracked head and was leaking compression. my gauge says the opposite. is it even safe to run a 2 stroke with compression that high without it dieseling?

I’m worried because getting a new rod and/or rod bearing is effectively impossible.

piston looks decently worn and may have what looks like a crack, getting a new one is next to impossible. can I send it or do I need a rebuold?

the piston looks decently worn, and it looks to have what could possibly be a crack. Do I need a new top end or is it ok to send? getting a new piston is pretty close to impossible
