This is an old B&S mini bike that I had as a kid that has sat unused in my mother's garage for about 30 years. I want to get it running for my son, but I don't have any experience working on these. (Thanks for your patience.) Amazing that it started right off the bat after sitting for that long. I drained the old oil and put in new. The exhaust is pretty blue, so I am guessing at some point I may need to do some real work on the engine, but I would like to hold off on that for now if possible.
1. Somehow the first chain from the drive shaft/clutch is missing. The sprocket on the drive shaft has 12 gears. Is a #35 chain the correct size, and does anyone know the length?
2. The choke is very loose and will move on it's own when the engine is running. If you look close there is a small crack in it. I am not sure if this can be tightened or it if needs to be replaced?
3. The starter was replaced from the original. The top bolt is missing. Can I use any bolt that fits or does it engage more than just the cover?
4. Is the throttle supposed to have a spring on it?
5. The original throttle cable is missing (it was coiled metal). It looks like it needs a cable just over three feet. Would the "Universal throttle cable" 48 inch work?

6. The original twist grip is missing some hardware. Is the "cable adjuster for mini bike throttle" the part I need?

Thanks for your time and attention.
