Default Brought Home something I don't need!

Well, I was browsing around on craigslist last night and came across a great deal on a Spiderbox. It is in acceptable conditions, but it is missing the roll bars. My intent was to just purchase it for spare parts, the kid said it hasn't ran in 6 months and they think that the carb is dirty. Well, I offered him $125.00 for it and he accepted it so I loaded it up and headed home with it. Once My bro and I unloaded it we hooked up some jumper cables to see if it would turn over and it did. From there we looked over the engine to see why it wasn't starting, well, the carb was very loose on the intake manifold so I tightened it up and we tried to start it again. It started right up and Idled with no problems.
they have had to fix a few things on it, like one of the spindles, they have the BD heavy duty ball joints, and a heavy duty chain tensioner. They also have added a Uni filter, but it seems as though it has not been rejeted because while doing a test ride it seems as though it doesn't want to get up to full speed.
Once I get into everything, like changing the oil, and cleaning the carb, I'll check to see what the problem really is.

here are a couple pics. It needs to be cleaned up a bit.
