maybe you will get lucky and get it for $75. look it over slowly and write down every thing you see wrong no mater how small and tell him everything you write down. test ride and see if the brakes work good. if he says it is just an exaust leak you can tighten it or anything else that needs to be tightened. bring a metric socket set and metric wrenches and average straight slot screwdriver and a pair of pliars an a can of wd40. if it does run it should be quiet when it idels. go there and counter every falsehood he has. it is bosch w8a or w7a or w7ac or w8ac spark plug. if you go there and he says the spark plug is fouled have a new one at the ready to prove him wrong. if it is a magnum two speed with mag wheels go there and at least look at it and try talk him down on his price. the main thing remove the spark plug and put the spark plug back in the spark plug resistor cap and lay it on the cylinder head and hold in the clutch lever and pedal it with the propstand down to see if it has spark at the spark plug. i think the carburetor needs to be cleaned out. ask him if you bring gas and oil mixture and drain the tank in front of him and it does not run how much is he is going to want for it. ask if it has keys to the fork lock, manuals, spare parts.ask him to drain the tank and put in fresh gas and oil mixture and see what his response is. a complete two speed puch engine is worth $90.00 sight unseen to the right person.

The sad thing is, over 70% of the mopeds in Minnesota just sitting around don't have titles and for that I am wary of buying any more for right now unless it is from a junkyard, which provides a salvage receipt to allow for getting a title.
