Description

Let me start by stating that I'm a Certified Master Auto Technician with over 30 years experience, and enjoy projects like this.  I picked this bike up, needing some love.  The entire engine was disassembled due to 2nd gear having a chipped tooth.  I replaced all of the trans gears, thoroughly cleaned and inspected inside and out, replaced the piston with new including rings and wrist pin, lightly honed (factory bore), disassembled the cylinder head to clean valves and replace valve seal,  and replaced the front chain sprocket.  This is a 3 speed auto clutch, starts and runs like new!  Most main focus with this build was engine related, I cleaned and painted side cases, exhaust, pegs, kick stand, handle bars, and shift lever.  Starts very easy, could be used for pit bike or for display.  The pictures do not show that the fenders are fairly scratched up, and some small dings in tank, but still excellent condition for the year, if this is a starter bike for a kid, the fenders will get scratched up anyway, also readily available if you choose to replace them.  Carb is in great shape, doesn't leak a drop even when fuel left on for extended periods.  Original seat still in fair condition.  Local pick-up only, i'm very close the the northern tip of West Virginia, inside the PA border, or I can meet at my work near the Pittsburgh airport.  Here is a short video of me and the bike.  https://youtu.be/lYIMnwCbyV4
