85 250sx stuck exhaust valve ???

[Honda_Dude]

hey Trikers, I have a lead on an 85 250sx complete. SUPPOSEDLY, it has the top end off due to a stuck exhaust valve. I'm VERY mechanically inclined, just virgin to trikes. What all "could" be wrong with this ??? I know you can't tell me exactly without more info but if I look at this today give me some ideas. As I said, the top end is supposed to be off but everything is there. THX

sounds like a cover up story to me, prolly more like needs a total rebuild

Contact Hoosier Daddy, he's really good with this stuff :D

I'm going to wait him out as I'm not in any hurry. He is only wanting $150 though. He sent me 1 pic, looks decent.

for 150 what do you have to lose?

[oscarmayer]

you kow if the rest of the trike is ok,a nd the rear end is in good shape. for 150 it's a deal. for another $150-$200 you can get a total top end repalcement from ebay for a working unit.
