Somebody posted some excellent advice (sorry if I don't remember who and give credit) If you can't hear it run, you don't want it. They had some top end oiling problems and parts are scarce. If it runs and doesn't make any noises, great. I'd rather miss out on a great deal than buy a boat anchor. The short story is that they are VERY expensive to repair. I wouldn't pass up a good one, they are nice riders. Prove that it's good though. Jump it with a battery and some fresh gas. It's worth the effort for a good buy.

My friend needs a bike and he's thinkin' about buying a Honda Magna 700 '83. The guy only wants $500 for it. Says it ran last year needs a battery and carbs cleaned. I figure a $40 batt, a can of Seafoam and I'm good to go. Right? He's got it on the local Craigs here. Could this be too good to be true? My other question is when you add seafoam, how long should it take to work? Will the engine start immediately, should it sit in the engine awhile or what? We're talking once it goes into a bike that's not running and provided everything else is ok? honda 700cc magna - $500 - (hazel park) pic --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
