C10 - part it out or sell it whole?

n00b here,  barring the unforeseen, i'm picking up this bike for my first.   I work with pk74, so I can beat him if anything comes up 

Welcome!  Read up on this bike here on the forum.  You may have a carb issue from sitting.  Connies like to keep running all of the time - sitting is not good.  I would keep it on the side stand until you are sure the float needles aren't stuck and the petcock is working correctly.  Its not the best "first" bike to have.  Its quite top heavy and a little bit intimidating at first.  Lots of people drop them at 0 mph in the driveway or garage.  Other than that little "hump" you will probably love the bike.  Put about 1,000 miles on the bike before you start changing things.  Plenty of power and storage space.  Very dependable if you keep on top of things.

When you change the oil, there are 2 drain plugs and the filter plate - you'll need to know this.

So i've heard!   I've already been doing some poking around the forums. 

Something a bit smaller and lighter would be great,  but the availability and price put me onto this one.  I'm also a bigger guy,  so something like the old honda CM450's I have as projects around the house are really a bit too small for me. 

I'm mechanically adept, so i'll probably start with a bit of carb tapping and some seafoam to try and loosen up that sticky float.  If that fails,  i'll just pull em for a quick cleaning.
