You'll needa new battery and GOOD carb cleaning first. hope you enjoy torment, the 550K and F airboxes are exactly that.

I have a 750K that sat for 25 years. fresh oil change and it fired right on up once I changed the shitbox champion plugs for NGK ones.

Kickers are AWESOME on these old bikes. I used mine much more thhan the electric start.
