Will be posting some pics once I get out of the office, but as it stands this is all that needs to be done:
Choke cable is screwed, needs replacement.
Previous owners bypassed the ignition cylinder, although it’s still present.
Needs new rear tires (already have, scrapyard owner threw them in for free)
Needs hardware on the rear end. Previous owner put an improper bolt on the rear of the frame, which is allowing it to flex, making the chain pop off.
Throttle cable is frayed but still functional, will need to be serviced.
Needs a right-side crank case gasket, has an extremely slow but still present oil leak.
Original headlamp has been replaced with a much brighter LED setup. No complaints there.
Fuel petcock assembly is missing the thumb switch, easy replacement.
New seat OR seat cover – wouldn’t mind some input on this as EVERY OEM parts retailer I’ve been to says this item (the actual seat) is UNAVAILABLE. (Lame!)
The good news? Motor is fine – starts up on the first pull and purrs like a kitten. Carb has already been serviced. Took her apart and soaked it in carb cleaner for a few nights – already looking brand new. Wiring harness is in good condition, getting good voltage on all of my test points w/ voltmeter, and electric starter functions properly.
All that’s left is to brush off the small amount of rust and go over a few select points with a rattle-can to get her looking pretty. Will have some photos for y’all later on today.
So what’s everyone think – good buy for $25 in this kinda condition? Or have I bitten off more than I can chew? :laugh:
