im waiting to see if I get this job today and if I do im gonna get it iv spent all of my money on my blaster and the 2 kx 250 I bought this summer

[kb0nly]

For that price i would run, run i say, and buy it... 70's are rare by me, still looking for an affordable one to rebuild.

[Joseph Farrow]

Looks like $$$ well spent!

[mud runner]

I'll double your money for them and meet you at the Dixon exit on I-40......;):D

You won't go wrong for the money. Check for spark before you do anything else. My guess is the points are probably dirty and need adjusting. You don't need to pull the engine to straighten the frame, just remove the intake, carb, coil and air box. Have a few smaller pieces of wood available to build up the base and not damage the air cleaner mounting tab. If you need more help with it let me know, I've got some decent pics of the process.

I went to fix my pull starter and the finger that hook the basket arenot going in the basket far enough and I pulled the basket off and theres a magnet laying under the flywheel any ideas what it is from

A picture would help explain what youre seeing. You will see the stator and points through the slots in the flywheel when the basket is removed. If you reinstall the basket you can knot the end of a rope and wind it counterclockwise around the basket to pull start it. Dont wrap the rope around your hand.

ok ill post a pic up in a sec

[mud runner]

here it is http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q587/daniel_goodwin1/cff9a8f1-0290-4971-9373-f1d13ba14d41_zpsf18540e3.jpg (http://s1165.photobucket.com/user/daniel_goodwin1/media/cff9a8f1-0290-4971-9373-f1d13ba14d41_zpsf18540e3.jpg.html)

I got the pull starter fixed I stacked 3 washers in between the flywheel and basket and it works good now I still don't know what the pieseof metal is though any ideas

[CRAZY70MAN]

Got any better pics of the metal chunk???

[mud runner]

ill post some up tomorrow it too cold in there right now

[coolpool]

Got any better pics of the metal chunk???

x2. Does the piece move or has it been attached to the cover? Epoxied? Does it clear the flywheel? Whatever it is it shouldn't effect spark. It doesn't look like it could have originated from the stator.

hell i would have bought those machines for that price. good luck getting the one going, i dont know crap about points yet lol

[mud runner]

well we may have a problem I was trying to role start it and it wouldent start so I went to pull it and the motor wouldent turn over so I pulled the puller off andi stuck a screw driver in the slots in the basket and it would turn but it wouldent turn over just turning it over by hand
