Do you guys think it runs? I may have a hard time rebuilding the carb.

B-12 will clean that carb right up.... add a new gasket here and there, and it'll fire right up

A sandblaster?

Seriously, looks like the chome is toast in a couple of places - I'd blast 'em and paint 'em.

As for the engine, definitely teardown time IMHO - I'm betting you've got a rock-solid core but I sure wouldn't just try to clean it up, fix a few seals and start it...
