The first things to check are the rubber parts. Carb, brake lines, fuel lines, ect. Replace all hoses and belts. Run it a while... it'll let you know.
By the way..... Welcome! Sounds like a great find.

I`ve always heard you should pull the plugs and squirt a few drops of oil in the cylinders before you fire up an engine that has been sitting that long.
