    I am probably crazy, bought flood bike!

    I haven't even got my first one running and Iwent out and bought a '84 200ES that looks like it has been in the river. The motor is froze and I have it soaking now. I won't know if it is worth building but I would love to have the high/low and the reverse. I am going to start digging in the morning to see how bad it really is. Any comments or suggestions would be apreciated. Thanks, timn

    I had 2 of mine set upside down under water for 7 days after Hurricane Rita. i picked up a few after that that did the same. They all ran. I must have used 5 gallons of Marvels mystery oil! i filled the cylinders, and drained the oil and filled the crankcases completely until i could get to em. If the piston is frozen, try squirting lots of PBBlaster in it and let it set for a day or so....Dave

    Oh yeh, drill a small hole in the bottom of the frame rails at the lowest points, it will let out any water in it, then drill a small hole in the highest point of the same tubes and squirt/flush with WD-40. Water does get in em...

    If you need a motor for your 200es let me know. I have a complete one sitting here waiting on a new home.
