So it was all in $1's then.......

Wait!......How the hell did you make $700!!????? Whatever it is....I want in!

A customer of mine has spent too much money already on this project. Basically he was lied to and I had to repair the driveline and rebuild the carbs before it would run. Then we had an electrical issue. Then got hard to start and he found low compression. He had the cylinders bored, has new .25...

Nothing, I have a wife.

I really need to start on some epoxy work but it's just too cold right now. I only keep my shop around 55* in the middle of winter.

I'm doing a driveshaft void fill on this as well so I cut down and fit a pvc filler.

I got everything test fitted underneath. Some trimming/ grinding here and there was necessary but not unexpected. The 750 pump is a snug fit in there.

I cleaned and wire wheeled threads on all the hardware today. I also cut, drilled, painted, and assembled the jet pump with the new 10/16 'Hooker' impeller. Hard to see in the pics but the paint is a metallic charcoal.

I had some parts blasted and almost ready for paint but the weather has been too cold to hook up the hose and wash 'em. I did that yesterday and got some parts painted today. I can't reveal my secret technique but that headpipe IS painted, NOT ceramic coated.

I've seen much worse scoring that still ran fine. Did the seller provide a running or compression video?

Interesting thought. I always felt this way about liquor stores and smoke shops. Yet, here they still are. I guess there's 5 new addicts for every 1 that buys the farm.

Me likey!

The Honda xr250r is a GREAT beginner bike as far as 4 stroke goes.

I'm 6'8" and rode bikes and 3 wheelers forever. I've ridden a BUNCH of different bikes. Stay away from anything 125cc.......not enough power for big guys. The 2 stroke 250 or larger......great power and suspension......MOST are not good trail bikes. I had a circuit built CR250 for about 13...

So, were these cranks found in the oddball 650lx machines?

Ape Hangers!!!

I have 'tuned' mine. I added 3" to the chamber at the coupler. Dried out the exhaust. Gasket matched the manifold to headpipe. Drilled a few holes through the baffle in the waterbox. Tweaked my old Mako 16 impeller. "Power" tuned the carb. And did my "fast burn" mod to the stock head.

Hell, my stock cylinder, STOCK piped 650sx with stock 28mm carb will top 43mph! Surely a Coffman can do better than that.

Ok, I'm gonna let it slide this time.....

I stripped the e-box down to paint and replace the plastic fittings with nice alloy ones.
