I grew up riding that exact atv! It was a fun little machine. If I took the time to remove and clean the carb, I would broke the whole thing down and put in it the cleaner.... to include the carb body.
Thanku for a very complete video...but can I ask if you can take your builds and see what the top speed is on them....like 2 vintage used to do! Thanks
It’s not common for me to find them that cheap but in this case the guy had it for $700 and I told him I would do $400 cash. He originally turned me down but finally took my offer a few hours later. It’s all in the negotiation.
I found the VIN prior to recording and it said 1987 when I looked it up. And yes, I checked everything else and it’s good to go. I appreciate your feedback! I will include that in future videos.

Looks and sounds good. Great job.
Thanks! These small quads are great little units.

Absolutely! I can start doing a top speed test. I love when 2 vintage did that as well. His content encouraged me to start my own channel.
Where do you youtubers find these deals like this? 400? I never find these deals that cheap around me like that and I look every single day.

considering that has the oem front tires on it still that thing may not have that many hours on it.
From what I can tell, it doesn’t seem like it has been used much at all!
@@Pickup_Projects thats an insanely good pickup for 400$
I think I would have pulled the needle valve while I was in there
I attempted to but the pin that holds the float in place was stuck for some reason. Have you ever run it I that?
