Magneto cover problem with an old Suzuki '87 quadsport 230?

I have an olf '87 Suzuki and I have two problems with it.


1.) Magneto cover was recently busted due to the common chain falling off from bad swing arms, so I fixed the swing arms and got a new cover, but the only problem is that 1 of the bold holes got busted up in the chain incident, another was soldered over from a previous incident, and another is stipped out. So thus being said, 4 out of the seven bolt holes work, and she is leaking oil badly. Any suggestions?


2.) When I first got her out of the barn, she would only idle but wouldnt rev up due to mucked up carburetor so me and my friend cleaned it out a few times with carb cleaner and took it all apart and checked the needle valves and it looks good. Now it is a b*tch to start with the kick starter because it just will not turn over, and the only way to start it is to drag it and drop the clutch, but even then when you do get it started, you have to keep her screaming because it wont idle at all, it will just die. It seems like a problem with the ignition/coil/spark plug. What do you guys think....?
