THANKS and as with any used item this is being sold as is used. no warranty or refunds after it leaves here. i can not see the future and niether can you so if something happens later down the road it is not my fault nor yours. had recent trouble out of hundreds of bikes i have sold with someone who expected alot more from a used item after they had a problem later on.,this was a first time and i am very honest with my descriptions, again most understand this with used items, he did not so i just wanted to mention. so be sure before you bid,if you want a brand new item then buy brand new item. thanks On Aug-15-11 at 18:02:27 PDT, seller added the following information: ok..update put new plugs in it and it runs and revs awesome now, ran good before but had a little flutter, now is great, still spitting some fuel out one carb when idleing. in my opinion it got a pc of dirt in one float needle usually tapping on bowls helps but it wont stop. so at worst may need a float needle, or just ran some more, sometimes it will just work loose, cause it runs great and usually when they are real bad, it will flood that cylinder. so minor thing, again just wanna be up front and i dont have time to take carbs off again. also forgot to mention, it could use new air filter and lid is not there..thanks
