OH bye the way i payed 150.00 for it!!!!! there was no gas in it not one drop.put in some 32.1 premix from my kx it back fired a few times, pulled the carb, the inside was like floor wax. cleaned it put it back on, it fired up after 4 or 5 kicks.runs smoothly but my kx100 will mop up the road with it.needs alot of work, ALOT, but i have alot of time.and found three salvage yard with a wide assortment of dt parts
