Hi niggz and welcome to the forum.
I recently did up an old 2 stroke, a fullcrank, and was told by good authority to swish the bottom end out with diesel (did it a few times), then blow out. Don't forget to add a little 2 stroke oil to bearings before reassembly. That's if the bottom end is OK of course.
I am a newby here too and first time doing up a 2 stroke, but got a lot of good help on this thread:

Hope it goes well. Keep asking questions and include progress, there is great help here.
