    wow very nice.
    so i just picked up one of thease i baught it fot $250
    everything is there, i have not fired it up, the tank had rust and a hole on lower side and bottom so they have been braised.
    iam missing the left fairing cover, all els is there.
    i cleaned the carsb today but 2 of the float bowles leak, out the drains, not the screw part but the hole on the side that the screw goes by.
    and one of the main jets thread broke, so iam interested in eather looking for a carb or filling the holes on float bowls, and getting a jet kit.

    well so dont know if i want to fix this thing its going to need new paint carb issue fixed, all the gears seam to work but the motor has 50,000 on it.
    thats why i was tring to get the carbs cleand so i could fire her up and see how the motor runs then do a compression test.

    this is going to need alot of work and i see they dont go for alot of money.
    any suggestions?

    Worth fixing up at that money! Chacal can help with all the parts you'll need. Check for the usual crack(s) in the frame at the rear of the seat loop

    thanks i did a compression check today even with 49,000
    i got 150,150,150,145 so i say thats a go on the motor, did a gear check (non runing on kick stand and all gears there. did a electical and all fires up.

    intake boots are shot and leaking so i did a carb cleaning and when i installed got very high idle, so cant tell wether carbs are good or not, i belive with leaking instakes that would cause high idle. so iam going to start there and get intakes.
    has good tires. and i have all plastic, but needs new paint. thats a cosmetic thing. i will see if i can get her machanical runing first.

    so iam going to restore
    so i did find carb but they want $250 kinda high so if anyone knows of a 900 83 seca carb pm me
