I came across this from a guy who was needing money bad, I ended up getting it for $450. Prior to buying I knew about it not pulling in 5th gear, it smokes, electric start issue, missing a front headlight and rear axle issue. Today I took the seat off since I plan on cleaning the carb, it doesnt want to idle. When I got the seat off I noticed the top of the engine was oily and it also appears to be missing a couple bolts, one of them was also loose.

This is the left rear axle

I also do not know how to get this thing in reverse, I would appreciate any help I can get from the members here. I dont mind spending some money on this but I would like to try to do most stuff myself if possible. I havent really worked on atvs/dirtbikes other than carbs so my experience is limited however I am not afraid to learn or scared to try.

The plastics are complete and not busted up but they are all scuffed up, is there anything I can do to make them look better? The frame is also scuffed up all over, I wouldnt mind painting it(spray paint nothing fancy). Any tips on the plastics and frame/rack would be greatly appreciated as well.
