I have been working to get a 1970 CL175 running. So far I have:
1. Got the engine moving with some MM oil, kicks over freely now.
2. Did an oil change.
3. Took the carbs off and rebuilt them.
4. Put a battery in and tested all of the lights, everything is working.
5. New fuel hose and inline filters.
6. Installed new plugs and tested for spark (good).
Now I'm trying the electric starter and it turns the motor over occasionally, like once every 5-10 turns. I can hear the starter spinning, and when it doesn't turn the motor over it makes a sound like gravel or pennies rattling around. Right now I'm charging the battery. I took the points cover off and took some pics. I know the corrosion is not a good sign. I'm just not sure where to go from here.
