Here's what I dragged home today. Unmolested 1985 Honda ATC 250SX for $400. I know it's not the deal of the century, but I've never owned an SX before so I'm pretty excited about it. Bought it off the second owner, who bought it when it was a year old in '86. It's had minimal use, and has been sitting for the past 2 years. Seller said it wouldn't start, which is why he decided to sell it. Got home and checked for spark, which it has - so must be a fuel issue. Looked in the tank and there's some rust at the bottom, so gonna give it the vinegar treatment and carb clean. Should fire up after that. Too bad the seat vinyl dried up and so it pulls the front of the seat away from the tank. Hopefully it will fit better once I reupholster it.
A lot of surface grime/algae...should clean up nicely with a warm soapy bath!
My wife asks me, "How many trikes do you have now?". Nothing like putting a guy on the spot. She just doesn't get it so had to post up on here where perhaps it will be better appreciated!
