you should make sure the carb bowl overflow tubes arent clogged either

soak with pb blaster and apply heat. then use a flat screwdriver (i've used cold chisels and wood chisels also) and hammer to break the offending fastener loose.

got the seller to publicly share the engine/frame numbers. we can all agree that this machine is not any of the following as described by the seller:

-very original
-japanese domestic model
-early production

the throttle handle housing has a screw for adjusting friction on the throttle cable, that might be too tight.
