You got a steal there! And pics take up a lot of bandwidth I am told, that's why most go through photobucket or the like. :thumbup:

Again this sight is ancient for posting compared to others

Anyhow
Bike has 125 psi in each cyl and spark. I ordered cheapo eBay battery w acid for $25 bucks. All lights work. I pulled the carbs and they were clean but did a once over. Petrol clean and petcock moves smoothly. Cleaned oil tank and nipple screen I ordered new stat o seals for the injection lines
My question is this. Can I try to start bike temporarily with my Stihl chainsaw 50:1 premix in petrol tank with oil injection lines removed to make sure oil pump is working properly

You can, but you really need to check for oil build up in the crankcases, many a rod has been bent from hydrolock.
