Hey sweet little 70 you have there! Looks perfect. I would get any dirty gas out of there asap and just get rid of it. It's not worth the hassle. You don't want any contaminates screwing up your carb as that will take some work to get it all out. If it isn't broke don't fix it. If it runs good and doesn't leak there isn't any reason to take it apart at all. Just enjoy the bike and keep it clean.

You can measure your battery and look around on Ebay for a replacement that matches your size. Just grab any 6v battery as long as it fits you're good. Mine puts out some weak voltage from being a few years old but my bike still runs great. They hardly need any power to operate. Now if you want the lights to be nice and bright that's a whole other story.
