The guy said he has the title lucked up in a safe, can't find the key, will have to go back to get it.  Got bill of sale though, I know that doesn't mean much, but if I snooze on this, you know what would happen.

Does it have the original carbs(looks like) and wrinkle tank ? How are the pipes, HM300 or no number. Engine turning over and how many miles is it showing ?  OH so many questions  ;)  Nice find as it is an early one still.

4 cable carbs, wrinkled tank, hm300 in great shape with minimal surface rust here and there and underneath look good, 4xxx miles! But speedo housing is black plastic?  Keep questions coming please!

It's passing the test so far. Engine kick over? Carbs not stuck?? Any electrics work after good battery installed???

Engine spins when kick, throttle stuck, not sure if it's carbs that stuck or cable, electrics will have to wait until tomorrow as I haven't unloaded it yet.  For some reasons, kids are all over me today since I came home.
