update: got the motor stabbed into the frame, got the top end together last night, decided to see if it would crank and run ?, i had no idea about the starter ??, or even if the cylinder had enough compression ?, if felt iffy too me ?. anyway, got fresh honda oil, honda oil filter, new c.d.i. installed, temp hooked it all up, put some fuel to my fresh rebuilt carb, choke enrichment valve is new honda as well. turned the key on, tested for spark with spark plug laying on top, got spark ! ( better have ! ), put the spark plug in, put fresh fuel to carb, slid the choke over, turned key back on, hit the start button, within 2 sec's....SHE'S ALIVE !!!.

About 70 miles away.  The sheriff was mad.  He was going to go to the convention store to get through video.   So you think the old guy from Arkansas reminded you of shade.  Lol

Outta ask more than that Shade.  Used ATV prices are up.  You can always drop it if it doesn't move.

 

Looks great, as always.
