Lol my 250 sprocket was worse. 3/4's of the teeth where fish hook like.

This is pretty bad, looks like the sprocket got really worn down, than the owner kept riding it and slipped the chain A LOT.

So its got no spark, but i narrowed it down to either a bad condenser, or the condenser wire may be shorting (long shot).

It is a nice looking bike, but it needs a few parts to be sellable, and i doubt the profit would be much by the time i put all the needed parts into it; rear sprocket, left sidecover, left blinker lens, horn, new petcock, new blinker bulb, and possibly more. The way i see it, i payed $40 for it and just ordered a new coil for another $17, thats only $57 for a 34hp go kart engine, and i'll probably never find a deal like that again.

It would be fun, but i doubt this thing would be easy to get around the woods with, its atleast 500lbs dry, and only 34hp. I might give it a try, i got a good rear tire off a 185...we'll see.

If i had the money, and less projects i would try something like crazycart's trike, i've wanted to make one ever since i saw his...i gotta stop thinkin im tempting myself too much haha.

You don't need money for a trike like mine!!! go to the scrapyard, i'm sure there's a axle or 3 wheeler roller there. That trike was one of the funnest things i ever created...

None of the junkyards around me let you go in and look around, stupid liability. If i could find an old rolling chassis for a 3 wheel or 4 wheels i'd go for it, but thats pretty rare. I'll probably end up doing the kart.

Eagle-

Its not an enduro, its an old school commuter bike and i don't have my license yet. I have plenty of somewhat legal places to ride go karts, and other vehicles off road. Im really leaning towards the kart right now because my clutch (thats on my kart now) is almost shot and chain keeps breaking because of a bent sprocket, so in order to get that moving again i would need to buy a whole new chain, sprocket, and clutch.

Rotore-
This bike isnt quite crap, i do have some crappy bikes but none are reliable enough for anything but beating around on.

Holy ****, i took the carbs off to clean them, and it turns out one of the diaphragms has a little rip in it, so i look for a replacement on ebay...$40 +shipping for this stupid ****ing piece of rubber!! So im either going to have to fine some gas proof silicone to patch it with, or use a couple 38mm mikunis i have (too big?). This officially made me hate keihin carbs haha, first time taking one apart, hopefully the last.

The 38's will be too big, and jetted way to rich for the little 4 stroke 400. Just rebuild the carb's the right way, don't skimp out.
