No not all a lovely little winter project.

As long as its got good compression you should be fine.

Get it home drop the oil clean the points check for a spark then I would rig up an external fuel tank and after a few kicks it will start 

If not the carb might need a quick clean.

Then after that it depends how much you want spend restoring it.

Good luck

Vic

Yes that's all in needs.

Don't waste money on it which you will never get back.

Just ride it and enjoy it.
