A few minutes later the owner came out with the title and I asked if he really couldn't get it started. He said yes, he had tried everything. Then he described that he holds the throttle open, and kicks hard. It just doesn't start. He was thinking that the CDI box was probably "cooked". I suggested that maybe he wasn't using the correct procedure to start the bike and he assured me that what he was doing was correct. I think his pride was getting in the way. Not wanting to make him feel bad by telling him that he might not be doing the right thing, I offered $500.00 for a bike that should have brought $3500.00. He accepted and was glad to get rid of it. I rode that bike, and my original DR350 for another ten years and never had a bit of trouble with either one.
Eventually gave her away to a nice young stranger.
Ever seen the belt on a corvair? It is indeed considerable.
The CB450 or the red head?
I HAVE one.I'm going to sell my wife's little Kawasaki 250. She hadn't ridden it for about two years. It has a new battery but needs tires.I known it runs 'cause I got it going a couple months ago. But, I'm gonna say in the ad, ran when parked, just for shits and grins!
Well, you're the one who can tell us how that'll work. Will you have it in a state that when a buyer comes over to have a look, perhaps to pay for it and take it away, that when you punch the button it will start and run? I'll bet you will .... there wouldn't be much point in letting the battery die or the fuel not flow and the bike not run just so you can get offered half the money you'd get if it were running .... !Lannis
Here's a good one: https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/rvs/6098984101.html
Oi there Chuck ... if someone gave you this airplane and you were motivated to get it back in the air safely, assuming the description (such as it is) is accurate ... what kind of money would you be looking at based on what you know would have to be done?Lannis
Never mind, not relevant.:-)
After re-reading I figure that aircraft are so different in cost and procedure it was just not in the spirit of this discussion (which I have enjoyed).I have recently discovered however that my old Pan is worth saving!:-)
Another classic in the ongoing series...."It Ran When I Parked It!" (But that was a long, long, LONG time ago!!)
