We drove 300 miles to purchase the "96" savage the PO was asking $900 & settled for $600 a hard negotiation... so I didn't have the heart to be too pushy on grilling him on the history... so the
broken parts will remain a mystery...And the reason I posted the link was the pic of the brocken cam drive gear... look at two of the smaller pieces... as an example of what I found when removing clutch cover. A short version of story: title was not in his name yet, scoot was rough sun damage, oxydation, rotten bald tires, missing pass seat, beat up fuel tank, would not start although it would crank etc. etc. :'(
If it did indeed have a cam chain failure it may be the winner of the lowest millage failure w/4555K on the ODO.
Poor scooter had original rear bald tire with much cosmetic dammage else-wear I think lots & lots of people had the chance for first rides & learning experiences at her expense, SHE AIN'T PRETTY BUT SHE SHURE WAS UGLY
She's looking better now and is being nursed back from the edge of the bone yard.
Thank you all for your valuable INPUT!!! PS I was also in a big hurry & bizzy when purchasing because I chose to transport her in the boot of an HHR
And yes...
remove tires & handle bar and
We shoe-horned her in the rear of the HHR! foggy
