B&S 6.5 OHV sitting for a while. tuneup suggestions pls.

Hello All

I received a full susp. Mini bike for FREE!!
Its been sitting at least a year in a garage.

Engine is a B&S 6.5 OHV. Pull start.

I got it started last night, briefly.
- got spark
- fresh gas

I got it to start by pouring gas down the throttle body.
Im guessing the carb is all varnished up due to it sitting so long.

So im going to do a full tuneup.
Plan is.
- gap spark plug
- change oil to Mobil 1, 5w30
- throw some sunoco 94 in the tank
- apply libral amounts of Seafoam Deep Creep to get rid of the varnish.
- Spray some Ether for the initial start up.

Anything else im missing?

Clean the carb!

Skip the seafoam, try and find a pdf manual to clean and retune the carb....
