wkelsey_yb100

Greetings, and thank you in advance for your input. I am in Malawi (Africa) staying at a friend's house. Going through his garage I found a dusty 2-stroke Yamaha which I have discovered to be a 1976 YB100 (at least mostly). I am considering trying to get it running. Is it worth it? Are there any common failing points that I should check out before getting too involved with this project? Getting spares will probably prove quite difficult in Malawi, so I expect I will be doing some improvising. I have done a little degunking and visual inspection of the outside, nothing looks too far gone. It turns over nicely. Compression test gives about 90 P.S.I. I have no spark. I also have no battery (but from my reading on this forum, that shouldn't be absolutely necessary). There are some frayed wires (repaired in some cases with bits of plastic bags). Does any one have a wiring diagram they could send me? Or a description of the bare necessities for wiring to get spark? In fact, any documentation, specs, or diagrams would be immensely appreciated.
