Picked up a 2-stroke barn find. PO says that in 1978, it was driven into the garage and parked there. Hasn't seen the light of day since. For the price I couldn't pass it up.
The good...she seems to be complete. Only thing I can see missing are the air filters.
The bad...She is completely locked up. Shifter won't budge and the back wheel won't move. Thankfully the master link was where I could pop it off to remove the chain so I could move it over into the corner of the garage.
As per usual, it fell into my lap, so there hasn't been much research.
I have to leave for work out of town for the next month, so this will give me time to read up on a few things and order parts. Not sure where I'm going to go with it, leaning towards cafe but she's supposed to be a scrambler.
If there is someone out there that can point me in the right direction for parts/manuals/insight/etc, that would be helpful. I'm definitely tearing this one apart (rings, gaskets, carbs rebuilt, etc) Not as easy as the last one. I'm not sure even where to start.
Thanks in advance!
