if i was back in town I could get you whatever you needed at cost + 10%, but cost +10% of something that retails for $170 is worth far more than a 1983 PW80.

well if the magneto is shot that is the problem…the magneto is the bikes alternator I guess you could say. I know supra mark had a PW80 back in the day he might still have it laying around…question is why the hell did you buy a PW80

No fun if you can use it or get it running. Might be a lot of work for a garage decoration! :dunno:
