well happened upon this unit in the local paper,
price looked sketch so i called.
owner stated he couldnt get it started, but he thought it had a recent top end rebuild on it, he said it was in "pretty good shape"
went to look at it and didnt bother trying to start it or anything, noticed the rear brake wasnt working and the suspension felt spongy, front forks seemed to leak a little as well, could see it through the cracked boots.
got it home drained the fuel and put fresh in it, flushed the bowl with the fresh fuel, couple solid kicks and it runs.
no smoke and good comp, but...timing chain is slapping bad.
no tears in the seat, no cracks in the plastics, front brakes work, headlight works and it runs.
timing chain doesnt matter as its destined to become an auto x.
need to rebuild forks and shock,
needs handle bars,
fork boots,
rear master cyl,
and a front tire(current one is out of round)
mentioned it to a couple guys at wk and one of them has what he thinks is an old 185 he said he would donate so ill go pick that up tomorrow afternoon.
really have no need for it, but itll occupy a couple sundays when i have nothing else to do.
