         Green stuff in the carburetor isn't a good thing, but rebuilding it shouldn't be a problem, make sure the jets aren't pitted. Good luck with it, I hope it will give you years of use. :)

New needle valves and gaskets & fuel filter and a real good rinse job on the gas tank and gas lines and
and a good spark plug should take care of most of your problems
