Lmao.......ebay and craigslist are full of comedic value these days.

At least it is still free to look and laugh.

Wow. I know this person. He's a good person with good intentions, maybe just a bit in over his head.

Remember the trail pro coffee table in my wicked-x thread? That's Mike. I met him once. Showed up at his shop ragged as hell during the Xpedition after contacting him about a replacement CDI when mine went bad on the trip. He treated me very well, fed me, gave me a back up CDI and gave me a free campsite on my trip from phoenix to kearney. He and his wife are good people in my book. I wish them the best.

Well, somebody is slacking. If that's your impression of him DOHC, I believe you!!

But building motors like that is only gonna hurt him more. The wires, timing and crank plugs and exposed bolts and shafts all spray bombed??!! YUCK!!

I'd be afraid to buy for even 500$, I never spent more than 1000$ on a complete take out motor.

Good way to clean out the 1/2 used spray bombs in the shop....Plus if anyone would steal it , it would be very easily spotted . Maybe I will try this on my next disaster .

even the counter shaft and shifter shaft are spray bombed, he must think it looks good and adds value.......but really tool value off of it.

Cringe!
He could have at least listed it as an 86.
It's listed as 1985-1986, but it can't be both.

Kid looking for a quit $. $1500 bet says that motor will leak oil and I can tell you why......

I think I just through up a little in my mouth. The stupidity of some people just baffles me.

I mean even the electric wires, sprocket shaft, and kick shaft are painted?! Worth a grand total of a blown 250es piston :lol:

I contacted him saying I'd report him to ebay because that motor will not even run missing head nuts...I got this respose and photos of it in a 250X...which is fine but once you mod the motor to fit in a 250X it is not fitting in a 350X frame anymore...id know I owned the same swap. Its been spray bomed big time per his photos he sent me.

THIS MOTOR is in a machine since this photo taken and RUNS LIKE A FREAKIN MANIAC, I wanted to show just the motor. You can see for yourself as we are showing it *RUNNING* here in town - turns out to be too fast for the folks around here - so, we decided to put just the motor up on EBAY. Still have a problem with my listing, feel free to have EBAY contact me. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!
