Answer
Lee,

-if you need specific help on a repair problem,
you can ask here. I would recommend getting a shop
or repair manual as well.

-You can try places like bikebandit.com for parts
or possibly Honda as well.
Sometimes things show up on eBay also.
-Just start by cleaning the fuel system, tank
petcock, carb. Then clean the air filter.
Change the oil. Check the contact points and
ignition timing. Check tires for cracking/rotting
or replace them. New spark plug,
battery.
-The manual can help you with all these things
and these sites as well:
