Probably pushed!

^^ yup, he push- started it. it "ran earlier this year" but been sitting since then. it does turn over though, and seems to have compression. the studs for the exhaust flange are gone, and it was majorly boogered on there, plus the spark plug hole is pretty well stripped....methinks a new head will be needed at some point.

yup, i think ours is an 84. smokes more than any 2 stroke i've ever owned, almost no compression, but still runs like a top. new plug once in a while and good to go.

yea almost 20 years of not running all it need was a new plug an oil change and a carb cleaning and fires right up

Those are some big ass rear tires for a 70!

^^ i know, right? some prior owner put these bigger wheels\ tires on it. one side has a 3 bolt hub, the other has a 4 bolt hub:crazy:
there is one small rim that looks the right size in the pile of parts, just need another rim and some hubs. oh, and a recoil, fenders, seat.....
i've already got a new pair of tires for the back when it's done though :)

I see by the date stamp on the pics that you time traveled 82 years into the past in order to share your newest find with us. What's the world like in the year 2093?
Sorry...sometimes I can't help myself...:p
Nice score on the 70 BTW. :beer
