Nice.
I'd double check the wheel rims and spokes just to make sure they aren't too rotten.

If you get fed up with it my lad would like a little stinkwheel of his own.
Good find, total respect to you good sir, still looking for that one owner Black Shadow then.
My greatest haul is a rusty Suffolk Punch mower,,,,
respect! Rob

| Check the main bearings. That's what Rick Parkington said about the KH500 he restored. Moisture can build up in the bearings on two strokes if they're laid up for a long time. It's nice, I like Suzuki two strokes. Last edited on Sat Sep 13th, 2008 09:51 pm by ScotDuke

Beware the paranoia of Rick Parkington! follow your soul if you feel like chucking fresh petrol and oil in it go for it. the bu66er can only go pop so whats the big deal, new bearings anyway.
By pass- Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam N baaaaaaaammmmmmmm into the blue haze of two stroke heaven NW classic you know you want it!

if only it were that easy rob....got it home this afternoon gave it a long check over
most of the chrome work is covered in thick grease so most of it shoild be saveable
although the front mudguard chrome has gone completely.
kicked it over a couple of times it didnt sound right so off came the head....ewww middle pot didnt look healthy..." pics later"
apart from needing a few bits...seals...bearings...gaskets..plugs...oil...seat cover...tyres etc and a bloody good clean.........i'm happy with it

WTF is that inside the spark plug?
It looks like ball or roller bearings that have broken up.

Looks like the debris of a burned piston.
