Default Banged-up Saito 100...what to do?

If not bent too bad they can be straightened. Remove the carb & the 4 bolts holding the cylinder on & slide up to remove the push rod housing & push rods. Find a piano wire about the size of the inside of the push rod tube ,round the end of it & push it up into tube while tapping around tube with a small hammer. Be surprised how easy it works. The push rods can be straightened with a couple of pliers & roll on flat surface to check. Put back the same way they came off. Run it then & track the prop tips if they are way off then you will need to remove the crank , then you may get in over your head! I live out in the sticks so I need to make do!
