    Help! What should i buy!!!

    So i have already bought a 1983 200e big red runs good and everything.
    BUT i need to get a project to work on i just finished my 1981 185s
    I can get a 1988 350 4x4 polaris thats in great shape and good tires but does have an electrical problem not sure what. The guy wants $350 and he lives like an hour away.
    I can also get a 1985 yz 125 okay shape has a spark problem. I think its the coil but not sure i already found real cheap parts for it from some guy on CL he has all the parts for it. The kid wants $200 for the Birtbike.
    Help me i dont know what to do i cant really ride the dirtbike when im done with it because its almost winter. I'm a big hunter and hunt Ny and the 3 wheeler comes in handy but its not 4x4. Comment what i should do and what you think!

    the early polaris 4x4s had a chain to the rear axle and another chain to the front. kinda cheesy set up in my opinion, but i've never had one so can't say for sure how they work.
    86 tri z - might be nearly done throwing money at it! (good thing, the hondas are getting jealous!)
    86 250sx - old reliable
    83 atc 70-new project for me and the boy
    another 82 110
    a bunch of golf carts for the wife and kids
    -gone but not forgotten-
    82? 110 - why did i sell it??
    84 225dx - meh, it was a pile

    well, i would probably go with the 4x4...
    but im getting lazy and don't want only 2 wheels anymore...

    I don't know where you ride mostly... but for me, I learned years ago with my CR125 Elisinore...
    If you ride on woodsy trails you better bring plugs... those things
    need to run wide open... I cant imagine the yz is any different
    which leads me to the next thing... they are fun to rebuild but I would
    expect the need to go completely through it... bottom end, top end,
    and of course look for the teeth missing off 2nd gear
