Up for auction is a 1985 Honda FL350 Odyssey. Beautiful machine, I hate to sell but it is time for it to go. This is a vintage racer from the late 80's, and appears to be period correct. Lots of modification and aftermarket, this machine is a beauty- but not for the stock purist. I have owned three of these, and will be selling the last two that I own within the next couple weeks. This machine was a racer from the late 80's, but has been casually adult ridden and cared for the last 25 years or so. This machine had a close-to-stock motor put back in it last year (not the original motor), or the year before. The previous motor had a high output stator, with no battery- and the motor that is in this does not have a high output stator, but does not have a battery either (pull start). It will start and idle, but not rev up. It seems that it is hitting a rev limiter at about 4,000 rpm, which I believe is because the stock stator cannot provide enough current to sustain the ignition at greater rpms. Motor has very good compression, starts and sounds good until it hits the limiter! Consider this beauty a project, but I genuinely feel that it would be something relatively simple for someone who knows these machines. As much as I love these things, I don't know much about them and don't have the time anymore to fool with them. I would guess that a stock/OEM wiring harness, with a battery will have this machine running and riding again in no time. I am confident that otherwise, this machine is in excellent mechanical condition. It is very obvious that this machine was well cared for, and remains in very good condition. Please be aware that this unit is not stock, please look at pictures closely! Aftermarket tires and wheels, aftermarket floor pan, modified suspension and shock mount locations, nerfs, altered cage geometry, various frame modifications and welds (all professional appearing), lightened control arms, aftermarket exhaust, K&N filter, and more. This Odyssey fits me very well, I am 5'10" and 185 lbs. It would fit a smaller rider well also, but may be a little cramped if you are much taller/ larger than me. This machine is a beauty, and will break my heart if it sells for less than $2,000- but it is what it is, and will be an as-is NO RESERVE SALE! It is located in Mansfield, Ohio. Paypal deposit of $150 due within 48 hours of auction end. The remaining balance due as cash payment on location, or at my bank within 5 days of auction end. Bid to win folks, this machine will be sold in 7 days!On Oct-12-14 at 18:40:13 PDT, seller added the following information: I wanted all prospective buyers to know, that I still have the race motor that came out of this machine- that will be sold separately. The previous owner told me that it was ready to drop in and go, but I have not been inside of it. I can verify, that it does indeed have a brand new piston and ring. I have a lot of confidence in the previous owner's mechanical aptitude, he was an ex karting guy and seemed to really know his way around this stuff. I will give the winning bidder of this auction, first shot at the motor that was built for this cart. I planned on putting the race motor in this cart, but didn't have the time- and thought that it would be an easier sale to sell this unit with the stock motor that it currently has. To be honest, I have so much FL350 stuff, I hope the right person buys this one... and wants to by the rest. I will be more than fair on prices, at this point I just need the room. I have an extra chassis, an extra stock roller (that could be made into a rider with not much $$), plastics, extra carb, extra suspension components, extra transmission, gears, ignition harness, gaskets, belts, lower cases, one or two extra cylinders, and much more. Some NOS parts, some used.. just a bunch of GOOD stuff. I think what I have left would be a gold mine for the FL350 enthusiast. If you are interested in all of the spares that I have- feel free to send me a message. The winning bidder of this auction, will get first shot at anything else FL350 that I own. Honestly, I probably have enough of this stuff to fulfill any FL350 dreams you have! I would guess I have another $3,000 worth or more of extra parts including the spare machine I have. If this interests you, and you plan on winning this machine- please send me a message, and I will send you pictures. Good luck and happy bidding!
