If it is from the 70's I would walk away. There are very few engine parts (if any) available. However the engine changed in 1980 and all the parts that you need are still available. The easiest way to tell is to look at the engine and see if there is an external starter motor on the top. If there is then I would work with it. In 1981 Robin discarded the points and moved to electronic ignition which would be a plus for you. The vehicle tag may still be on the side of the passenger foot well and that will give you the year of manufacture.
