I have access to a 250R ATC for $100.
The problem is no plastic, needs piston and rings, etc...
My best friend is an engineer with a mig welder (a very fun combination), so we were lookin at takin the engine, throwin a Wiseco on and weling up a shifter cart with the salvageable pieces and some old Scrambler wheels.
The question....Is this a waste of money on the 250 for the engine and swingarm, or does it sound like a steal?
I don't know much about the ATC, except that it's been worked pretty hard, but is the engine worth $100?

 

what year?

air cooled or liquid cooled?

 

www.esr250.com seems to be making a small (sarcasm) living off 250r motors in karts. but they're water cooled.

 

It's a 1984 air cooled.
Should make a fun toy

 

Get it for the 100 dollars, cause you can always part out the good stuff for over $100.
And if its anywhere around me, Ill buy it![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Don't know where Antioch is, but I'm in west-central IL. We're definately gonna try it. If we can get the engine to perform the way I expect to, it'll be a blast.

 

Im in northern illinois, bout 10 minutes from the Wisconsin border.

 

It is definetelly worth the price if the running gears, and engine are intact running or not. I would give $150, if it can match that simple criteria.
