This is my 04 Bruin I picked up cheap last summer. Bought it as a non-runner for cheap.
Day I brought it home...
Changed the oil and a new filter, poured some gas in it and tried to start it.....nothing....I couldn't get fuel into the carb, so eventually I pulled it and found a hard vanish like material coating most of the inside of the carb. The needle and seat were glued shut and took a couple days of soaking to get it free. Once cleaned I re-assembled and it fired right up. Drove it around the yard and everything seemed OK.
Decided at this point I would change the diff fluids....front was pretty good, but rear came out chocolatey. Figured some water had got in so drained and re-filled. Drove around the yard again and then figured I should check the rear brake since there seemed to be very little rear braking.
This is what awaited me when i got the outer cover off the brake....
And inside...
