Just picked up a decent barn find it was sitting for 15 years but the gentlemen had started it every 3 months and had changed the oil prior to letting it sit.
One wheel hub was stripped but I have now replaced it, The sparkplug cap was broken and taped together which I also have replaced, The carb as usual needs some TLC I have a new one just haven't put it on yet, and the rear axle bearings & seals need replacement and so does the front wheel bearings & seals (on order). Got it home last night around 8pm. Cleaned the tank and carb a bit after work tonight and put the choke on and the thing started on the third pull (typical Honda). Needs a good clean and maybe a front rack, It already has the rear hitch and for some reason it has 3 brand new Carlisle tires on it with the nibs still on.
Only paid $300.00 CAD So keep looking they are still out there. Cheers!197238197239197240197241
