Didn't even notice that the first time. I'm sure the Deer up in this area wouldn't care if a 2 stroke came out in the woods :D.

I remember that ad, maybe he assembled it some :). Tempted to offer $250, if it is complete, it would be well worth it... but I'm already out of room lmao.

I wish it was closer so I could take a look. I just bought an 85 roller with no engine... I need some parts are another complete A1/2.

I'll email them for some photos. I don't really know anything about these machines, but it might be worth picking up to part out to keep others alive.

Hoping for photos tonight. Some details on it.
He thinks it is a 1986, it needs the fly wheel side cover and the electronics of the flywheel hooked up. It has been sitting for around 11 years. He really does not want to part it out.

I'm planning to take a look at it in the morning, any tips to look for other than the "normal" stuff (ex: bearings, shocks, case damage etc).


He also has a 83/84 250r engine that needs piston and rings for $200. I might have to pick that up and part out the rest of the engine, my cuz needs a cyl but has no money (17 years old).


He has another tecate for $1700, must be in really good shape.

Maybe it's just me, but if he has a $1700 Tecate and a 250R engine he knows what he's doing....therefore I would NOT assume that a $500 Tecate would be an easy fix, but that's just what I read. There is a $650 complete running Tecate on the Kalamazoo list I'd buy....

That is why I requested photos before invested time/gas. He said the old man that owned it before him wanted $1000 for it because they are "rare" and had good rear tires, so he got it cheaper with out rears and drilled out some quad rims to put on it and basically said they were not safe to use. Sounding like a $200-300 machine to me, he said his lowest he would take is $400 for it, and $200 for the 250r engine (and claims it has a 310 big bore and needs a piston). I'm not really into 2 strokes that much, so I'm probably just going to let it go. $650 for a runner sounds like a good deal if I was looking for one :).

Went to find the link for you and it's now deleted (not surprised since it was a good deal).

Best of luck!

Listing is still up for the $500 machine and still no photos... I'm guessing either the guy isn't very motivated to sell, or the machine is in really bad shape.

Well, he posted photos and a $1300 price increase.

Lol wow.... so glad I didn't make the drive to look at them before photos... the "parts" machine don't even have a complete engine.. My $280 350x beater at least had a complete engine.
