new cheap project

[richg 0]

picked this beastie up yesterday. The last owner had forgotten to top up the 2 stroke oil tank and siezed the main bearings. had recent new disc and front tyre. gave the grand total of £45 for it.
just looking for an engine for it now. It did come with the remains of the engine but he had lost a few bits from it.

noticed that it had some petrol in it so i have just drained it out and got about 11 litres out of it that works out at about £15. so that means i got the thing for £30 even more of a bargain than i thought.

rebuilt replacement engine and fitted it into bike only to find out that the bike is wired for a later ignition system and the engine is the older type. and one of the parts missing when i got the bike was the ignition system. bugger. according to a hungarian site the systems have no interchangeable parts.
