hi wingers
i can't believe my luck last week.
i sold my home for a good price.
bought a new home with a massive
garage. then found on ebay
a genuine bargain that blew
me away.
an ebay in Dublin advertised
a nos 1200 engine, complete with
Nos carbs and starter.
no one else bid and i won it
for £1000 brit pounds.
What a very lucky find.
The engine and carbs were on
display in a motorcycle college.
This was a display engine to show
the compression and set up
of a flat four.
The engine and carbs has been
installed in a bike. no miles
whatsoever.
There is fresh oil in the bike,
which is clean.
i actually phoned Honda up
and asked how much it would be
to buy the new engine, carbs and
starter. the parts guy laughed,
saying 'you won't find a nos engine
and carbs anywhere. if you did
it would cost you £4k.
the gal did well!
has anyone else installed a nos
engine?
is it best to install an upgraded stator
in the engine, before putting the engine
in the bike. the old stators filed right?
many thanks wingers!
angel
ooops, sorry!
my post should've advised
'the engine and carbs have never
been installed in bike!'
it has been a busy day !
kind regards
Angel
