Default Update on the 125

I started on the 125 by removing the broken hood. Tried to move the hydro lever but it was stuck. Kroil and a screwdriver wedged in the friction disc area fixed that. Pulled the choke and it was stuck. Got that soaking. Tried the throttle and was stuck also. Pull the carb off and put on another. New battery and turned the key, nothing. Figured the switch is the culprit after the stuck cables. Must have sat outside for a portion of its life. Hot wire to the coil and short cable to the starter and she's alive. That's all I wanted to hear. That's my favorite part, making something run that people gave up on. Hydro works too but I've never had one not after changing the fluid and filter.
That's all I will do to it for now I need to finish the 105 first. Just wanted to hear it fire up so I know where I'm at with it.
Thanks everybody for the kind words
