Called aguy about an MD tonight. He says it only runs on 3 cylinders. He doens't know why, hasn't had it long. Has rims from a 3 or 400 series, 15 inch wide. He has 1 original, and can come up with another. Has never tried to start it on gas. I can rebuild the carb easy enough is parts are available.
Any ideas why it only runs on 3 cylinders? Bad injector or loss of compression is my guess. If I do a compression test, what should be good readings?
Who has parts (piston/sleeve kits, bearings, etc) for these?
I'd love to buy it, but is it worth $800? Paint & sheet metal don't scare me, Dad & I both can paint pretty well and he's good with sheet metal, and I'm learning. Besides, I want to use it anyway, so look's aren't that big of a deal.
Thanks
Bindernut
