Novice looking for maintenance/restoration guidance

first determine whether the engine is good by checking compression. if its not good, u can forget about any clean up of the rusty bits cuz its a parts bike. -

not the cdi getting hot, its a pulse generator

^^^^^ yes, check charging volts at idle and at 5000, less than about 13.5v is bad and probably needs r/r replacement. a bike running fine then quitting 15 or so minutes into a ride is often a sign of a pulse generator that quits when it heats up. and when it cools down runs fine ?? another sign of pulse gen failure.
