Sweet! I have one something like that in my garage. It sat in some guys backyard shed for like 8 years. I drained a bit of the fuel and it came out this bright red stuff.........."Hmmm', I said, 'This looks like Cam 2 race gas". Pulled a spare batt out and hooked it up with wire and alligator clips.......5 kicks through with the switch off, three kicks with the switch on and it fired up!  It blew all kinds of rusty, nasty crap outta the pipe but damn it after 8 years of nonuse it fired on the 3rd kick. gotta love old Hondas!
