Greetings Folks,
I am in a bit of a quandary. I am hoping you will read about my
situation and offer your advise.
Thanks in advance.
I own a 1973 CB350 - the body is in very good shape, the engine also.
I paid $1700 bucks for it - it had been parked for years,
My objective was to fix it up and I have been doing so.
Recently, I replaced the air filters in preparation to sell the bike
before I depart in three weeks.
Not surprisingly, the carburator is now totally out of whack. It
leaks, and will barely start.
I know how to go at this to figure it out, however, I don't have much
time, and I am worried that I will have to sell the bike in non-
working condition.
Running, I think I could EASILY get $2000. How much does a bike like
this cost if the new buyer has to pick it up in a pick up or
trailer???
Thanks all !

Dream on.
If it's in absolutely superb condition, then just possibly.

your dreaming, I can buy my buddys 350 that has been restored with only
9000 miles on it for 1000. They are not so collectible or have any
intrestrinic value either. you were a sucker to pay that much. KB

Please get your attributions sorted out, old chap. In other words, learn

Sounds like a couple of my "deals" on a tractor - took it
real deep in the shorts! That's the last time I'll step
into something I know nothing about. ( I think I told
myself that on a prior occasion or two!)
