I'm very happy to find this forum and the wealth of information it contains. Unfortunatley, the search engine won't allow 3 character searches, so CT3 and 175 are not pulling anything up.

I've just been given a 73 CT3 175 that has resided in a neighbor's basement for the last 30 years or so. Cosmetically,other that filth, it is quite nice, but we have no idea yet of it's mechanical condition. I'm proficient in maintenance and repair of current day motorcycle internal combustion engines (you can see how many I have to deal with from my signature) but have little experieince with older bikes, especially 2-strokes.

If anyone has experience with restoring this genre of beast, especially with this particular bike, I'd love to hear some suggestions, tips, what is a must, what to aviod, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am an electrical engineer and have found that I am especially capable with M/C system electrics, a subject I know causes headaches for many. So, as I progress in my resurrection of this bike, I look forward to being able to contribute in kind to others with issues.
