[VintageHondaKid]

I have a chance to get a big red, pretty much complete, with good tires, for 50 bones. But its locked up. Should I look at it?

All right, so i pulled the pull start off today, hoping that it would just be something simple with it, and found a bunch of water. Go a little bit farther, and see water on the alternator. Pulled that cover off and theres a little bit of water in it, and some aluminum and what looks like copper or bronze pulled up. Old brown oil too. Checked the spark plug, its oily and the electrode is bent in, like mechanical collision? I dont know anything else other than that, trying to get some decent pix. Anybody got any ideas about a motor?

Bought it for 40 bucks, cant beat that.......Buy a good motor for 150 and you got a 200$ trike that will last you 20 years. Keep the old engine for parts or rebuild/part it out.

50 bucks and you will still make your money back and more on ebay/craigslist for parts.
