The problem is that I am not that experienced with mechanical matters, I mean I can change a car's oil, replace filters, and change tires but when it comes to actually repairing an engine I don't know where to start.

As such I am asking for help. I am looking for general tips on repairing these scooter and things to look out for on scooters that have been sitting around for years. Thanks for any help you can give.

Here is all info I have on these scooters:
there are two both are 1986 NQ-50 scooters i do not know if they are NQ-50 A or NQ-50 AA models
They haven't been used in about 7 years and have not been moved for about 5
I know the gas and oil has been left in both machines this whole time
From what I can tell they seem in really good shape since they have been kept away from the elements all these years. there is very little rust and corrosion
After talking with relatives, one bike which is the red model (code. R127) had been working all those years ago but the brakes were worn out so they just left it alone and never replaced the brakes.
The other one is the black model (code. NH148) would not start about 7 years ago and they never fixed it.
that is all I know about these scooter aside from fun memories
