1982 Yamaha yt175

[Nebraska_Joe]

Tomorrow I will be looking at a 1982 yamaha yt175. The craigslist ad says it has spark and compression but doesnt run, so my guess would be carburetor problems(hopefully an easy fix) and it doesnt have a throttle(not sure what he means by that). The guy is asking $200 for it. Anything I need to look for or how hard it would be to get this running well? Thanks!

I brought one about a month ago here in Australia, didn't run so I just changed the reeds and cleaned the carby runs fine now and starts easy. Might just need a clean

Might want to make sure that one is a true 175- If it's the one I've seen, it does not have the front suspension like they should.

^^this is it, Im not sure how to tell what it is, I didnt think they were supposed to have front suspension, if its not a true 175 then what would it be? would it still be worth it?

It's a 125 but it is still worth $200
