Sup guys... Found a 250SX near me that is for sale, I've checked it out and talked to the owner... Turns out he is the second owner of it and the orginal owner of it had it for his wife to ride. For a 85 it's in pretty good shape, tank is mint, all controls are good, top cluster where the key is in very good shape, no slop in the kicker, and it fires right up with the e-button. I guess this guy (that has it now) used it for ice fishing and installed a primer bulb to get it started when it was really cold out. It's pretty ghetto and I'd toss it and just replace it with new fuel line. The carb seems a little weird to, he said that it's never been rebuilt so I'm sure it'll need that done. It seems to start and idle okay however. The rear end is tight, nothing weird looking, no drips, the engine oil was clean looking and reverse works. So, I fire up this piece and click it into frist, seems fine and then I roll down the street to check out the rest of the trans. If you wack it 1/4 throttle it bogs then goes, but you can feel the clutch slip, I have a feeling since some old lady drove this thing all its life she left it in a higher gear and just slipped the shat out of it... The clutch isn't too bad, but I know it will need done soon. I was able to rip a few wheelies in a field so it's holding okay. Other items to mention are OEM tires are STILL ON IT! They look okay, few plugs... Plastic has a few cracks here and there, nothing major. I was able to talk the dude selling it down to $650 cash... I figure it's going to need carb rebuild, complete new clutch (atleast the fibers and drive plates) and new tires in the future, plus my time working on it. What do you guys think? Should I grab it for $650? Any thing else I should look for? The engine sounded good to me, little ticking, but nothing out of the ordinary... Thank for the help guys.
