[QUOTE="nobog, post: 1475947, member: 145774"] KDX80 # 2 - or here it goes again! Yep, found another, but this one will not get the "full monte". No powder coating or zinc plating. Tank mostly shot, had to send that out for professional repair. Missing the side panels and front # plate. It didn't have spark - turns out they put new points in it and had to re-solder the wire to the top of the condenser - well - they had a huge gob of solder and that was shorting out on the flywheel, so at least that was a simple fix. At least the crank is good. Wheels and hubs good. The usual, new seat cover, rebuild the forks, new handle bars, and throttle cable, I will keep the clutch cable and front brake cable. The rear shocks are shot but they are all shot this vintage. The shift shaft was shot (shift lever welded to the shaft) so took the motor apart and checked everything over, a couple of busted fasteners no big deal. Pipe has a 5" hairline crack that needs welding, engine cases needed a bit of a weld job also. I won't be doing detailed updates like the last one, we'll just see how it goes. Got everything apart and the frame primed: [/QUOTE]
