HONDA MT250 2 STROKE, 250 MT CR ELSINORE MOTORBIKE

UP FOR AUCTION IS WHAT I BELEIVE TO BE AN OLD HONDA MT 250 2 STROKE. NOT EXACTLY SURE OF THE AGE BUT I AM ASSUMING MID TO LATE 70'S. THE BIKE HAD BEEN SITTING FOR QUITE A WHILE BEFORE I GOT IT AS THE BIKE STOPPED RUNNING FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER SUDDENLY AND HE COULDN'T GET IS STARTED SO HE PARKED IT UP IN THE BACK SHED AND LEFT IT SIT THERE SO THEREFORE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS MOST OF THE CHROME ON THE BIKE IS COVERED IN SURFACE RUST. WHEN I GOT THE BIKE I GAVE THE TANK A FLUSH OUT AND THERE IS STILL SURFACE RUST IN THE TANK (AND TO BE SAFE IT WILL PROBABLY NEED A CREAM). I FILLED IT FULL OF FUEL AND FOUND ALL THE PROBLEM WAS THERE WAS A DEAD SPARK PLUG, REPLACED THAT AND WITHIN HALF A DOZEN KICKS IT ROARED BACK AT ME ON FULL NOISE ALTHOUGH I HAD TO SHUT THE BIKE DOWN AS THE CARBY WAS LEAKING FUEL FROM EVERYWHERE. SO THE CARBY WILL DEFINATELY NEED A KIT. THE BIKE HAS GOOD COMPRESSION. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I PICKED THE BIKE UP I DIDN'T NOTICE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND WHEN I PULLED DOWN THE TIE DOWN STRAP I SNAPPED THE KEY. I STILL HAVE HEAD OF THE KEY AND THIS CAN STILL TURN THE BIKE ON AND OFF. BECAUSE I SNAPPED THE KEY I ALSO HAD TO REMOVE THE SEAT LOCK. THERE IS ALSO A FAIR WACK OF WIRES HANGING HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE WHICH MAKES IT LOOK A BIT UNTIDY. ALL IN ALL COULD BE USED AROUND THE BACK PADDOCK WITH A CARBY KIT OR WOULD MAKE FOR A GOOD BASE TO A RESTO OR MAY ALSO EVEN BE COMPATIABLE FOR PARTS WITH THE CR ELSINORES AND THE LIKE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO VIEW THE BIKE WHICH IS WELCOMED AND ADVISED PLEASE CALL ME ON 0438 112 586. DUE TO SIZE BUYER TO ARRANGE OWN PICK UP OR COURIER.
