Did I ruin this vintage Z50? Mini Bike Build!

Episode 1! Lets tear this bike apart.
This all started about 3 years ago. My youngest was turning 3, and of course that means he needed a motorbike!
I discovered a co-worker had a Z50 in her garage that her husband grew up riding on the farm. So I went to check it out. It turns out it had been sitting on the farm for a very long time, after a lifetime of being abused by each of the kids as they grew up.
We did some preliminary work on it after he opened it. It was ROUGH. It appeared to have low compression, maybe due to a timing issue, but that's as far as we got with it back then.
Well, now he's 6, and he's been riding his older brothers old Z50 and he's loving it! It's time to get this bike back on the trail so he can enjoy it before he outgrows it.
