'72 XL250

'72 XL250

Posted by Briarrabbitt on 8/19/2008
This is my latest work in progress. It started life as a 1972 honda xl250 that I bought at a garage sale for $100. The guy who sold it to me told me it would never run, but after welding on a new kick starter, finding a new tank, and cleaning out the carb she fires right up and runs like a dream.
Update!
Finished this little bugger up this weekend! I got it all torn down and painted up about a month ago, then put it all back together only to find that I had no spark :o After cleaning all the electrical connections, getting a new wiring harness, cursing like a drunken sailor, and lots of skinned knuckles I realized the points breaker connection had been put together wrong. 5 minutes with a screwdriver and she purrs like a pissed off kitten!
