Default Picked up a 1971 125cc enduro

Sister wants to learn how to ride, and she's not getting on my bikes, so she bought this thing tonight. Didn't snag any pics because it was dark, but this is the CL ad. Doesn't idle great, probably needs jetting since we are real high altitude in Albuquerque. No title, but for now that doesn't matter since it is gonna be used on the dirt to learn. If she likes it and wants to keep it we will chase it down.

Anyway, anyone know anything I should know about these bikes? Quirks or tweaks?

that bike is older than 99% of the people on this board... get your forks rebuilt, change the sprockets and chain, make sure the drums are good and let her rip. I wouldn't bother with tweaking, just keep it as close to OEM as possible. that bike will hold it's value if you do.
not sure i would want my sister to crash on that thing either. it looks quite complete and should really be considered a keeper.
