I won the bid that I had on ebay for a Batavus VA with the motor apart and no title or anything for 82 dollars. Picked it up the next day from a town run by Hasidim Jews and I must have gotten there when all the synagogues let out because there was traffic backed up for a mile at least on the main road of this little town. So I got there about a half an hour late, but no worries because they guy had also gotten there late because of the traffic. Saw it, payed the man, threw it in the back of my El Camino and went home.
When I got it home I Inspected it externally, then removed the tank and poured out the old 2 stroke gas and poured it on some weeds growing in the stones on the side of my house. I then flushed out the tank with a bit of shaking and some new gas. When the gas that came out ran clear I put the tank back on but then the petcocks (yes there were 2) wouldn’t flow, bla bla bla I broke the petcock. I poured gas in the float bowl and she fired right up after I put my ported cylinder on it. I rode it down the road for about 200 feet before it died so I petaled back home.
I also got my cases sandblasted at school last week.
