Hey Everyone

I'm getting this bike, it has been sitting for more than a few years, wondering where to start, any suggestions?

 

Does it run?

 

I just bought an 1985 Honda 250 xlx and its great fun, its believed to be the only one in Ireland, I say get it you wont be disappointed. Alvin

 

i walk around every fall and drain all my carbs... because... i hate cleaning them out if they are not drained. First I'd check for spark, then clean the carb...or if yer jonesin' bad like I usually am, you can spray gas or start fluid to hear it run for a precious few seconds. make sure the tank isn't going to recontaminate your nice clean carb with more gunkymuckrust Make sure theres oil in it and run it enough to see if it shifts or has a major engine knock.. so you'll know whether or not to put more time / $$ into it or call it a parts bike and buy another one or 2
