I am probably crazy, bought flood bike!

I haven't even got my first one running and Iwent out and bought a '84 200ES that looks like it has been in the river. The motor is froze and I have it soaking now. I won't know if it is worth building but I would love to have the high/low and the reverse.:naughty: I am going to start digging in the morning to see how bad it really is. Any comments or suggestions would be apreciated. Thanks, timn

the more the merrier, you could always use the spare parts.

I had 2 of mine set upside down under water for 7 days after Hurricane Rita. i picked up a few after that that did the same. They all ran. I must have used 5 gallons of Marvels mystery oil! i filled the cylinders, and drained the oil and filled the crankcases completely until i could get to em. If the piston is frozen, try squirting lots of PBBlaster in it and let it set for a day or so....Dave

Oh yeh, drill a small hole in the bottom of the frame rails at the lowest points, it will let out any water in it, then drill a small hole in the highest point of the same tubes and squirt/flush with WD-40. Water does get in em...

If you need a motor for your 200es let me know. I have a complete one sitting here waiting on a new home.
