What to look 4 in an ATC 110

[Jack in VB]

Im going to look at two ATC 110s tomorrow. What are the common trouble areas? What is a big deal and what is cheap or easy to fix?
Thanks.

hard to say, what years are they? Generally the 110's are solid bikes, but if they are close to you, I would expect to see a rust issue. Most of them have metal tanks, they get all rusty and cause a ton of issues, not to mention eating up the electrical contacts. Several things to be keeping in mind, but have to know if they are early or late.

look for smoke when it runs.
does it smoke on startup only or all the time or at all?
pull the plug and see what it looks like.
pull the gas caop and check the tank.
sit on the bike put fee ton floor, hold front brake and rock bike back and forth to see if steerig is loose or damaged.

take for ride and go through ALL gears. ensure hi/low trans works correctly.
