$200 1985 250es runs!

[Whiskeythrottle]

I bought a 85 big red last fall for $200. Last orv sticker was from 2001 and looks like its been outside all its life. Flat tires, busted plastic, seized cables, Swiss cheese gas tank, etc. Well the other day I finally started to dig into it. Hooked up a battery and sprayed starting fluid into the throttle wide open carb and it instantly started right up and hit the rev limiter. Couldn't believe it! So I removed the carb and realized the carb was seized not the cables. So I sprayed it down good with wd40, swapped in a different gas tank, and hooked it all back up and now she purrs like a kitten. Trans shifts threw all 5 gears and reverse. Guess I'm going to need to find another parts big red so I can ride both of my running big reds lol https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170427/75d130943db1483343d1f14a228dd3e4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170427/d7adbe496dae34c9c95783592c42b261.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170427/98d8ff2b1b17da993bd593b914ee9117.jpg

After reading it I expecting it to look all beat up and sun faded but in the pics it looks pretty decent to me! Motor and frame look clean, tires and rims dont look bad. Other than cracked plastic I'd say a steal at $200

That's a really nice score for 200 bucks. Glad to see you got it going easily too.
