I found this old build on my local craigslist the other day, got it from the guy for $80
the original owner said the build was about 3 years old or so and has a bunch of miles on it, and it had been sitting in his garage for a year (WITH FUEL IN IT!!)
It needs a CDI, spark plug and fuel line. luckily my main ride was willing to offer up the parts for the "new guy" I stuck them on and went for a ride.
initially the bike was slow to turn over, but it sounded and felt like it wanted to so bad, so i dropped the clutch and pedaled my butt off, it fired and i was able to make it to the end of the street and back
a few points i need to work on, it does not idle, at all, so i will be pulling the carb and giving it a super good cleaning
new parts should be here by tuesday or wednesday.
i think i may have fried the donor CDI, the bike would not fire today so i pulled the plug and laid it on the engine block and rolled the bike, no spark any suggestions??
