Bought this gem for $1000…
]
Long story short, I was working on my buddy’s sled that kept flooding out. It backfired and ignited a bunch of gas that was hidden under the engine. We managed to yank it out of the garage to keep the garage from going up, but the sled was long gone. Since it was my mistake (left the exhaust off when trying to fire it up which is a big no-no on 2 strokes) I offered to buy it off him for what it was worth pre-ignition because I was brought up to own up to my mistakes and make things right.
So basically I paid $1000 for a set of arms and a rear grab handle for my 2000 formula z. As well as a motor that will just have to be cleaned out and will possibly be used for a go-kart some day… lol.
I’ll also be buying some new siding for the garage in the near future thanks to the intense heat of plastic, rubber, and 9 gallons of 93 octane fuel… lol.
