Bought it a few months ago. Previous owner had it serviced regularly by lazy mechanics. It was running fine, maybe a little jerky when going really slow.
Anyway, wash and re oil those air filters guys. They will dry out and disintegrate if you don't.

foam ages out period. REPLACE foam filters EVERY 2 years.

disintegrating foam will get sucked in to the throttle body/carbs and into the engine. NOT good.
