new guy here

[salrjk]

ok, here i am, first post so i can lurk in here,, just traded an xr500 for an 82 aspencade 1100 cc. the guy gave me an extra engine that's only supposed to have 100 miles since rebuild. the one on it has a blown head. so i either scored good or not so good :hi:

Welcome to wing wrenchers not so anonymous. Blown head huh? His story or known fact? I'd check the timing belts first. If either one is out of place it can cause all sorts of bad things.

Welcome to the CGW Forums, salrjk!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
Sounds like a pretty good deal, if either of the engines will run. A little detective work will help determine the problem with the one in it now.

I agree......if the engines turn over freely, you have got it made! They are fairly easy to fix!

welcome to classic ...bike with spare motor not bad so far

 

[salrjk]

that was his story. i just got it and haven't looked at it too good. he started to tear it down and gave it up after taking off the left valve cover and cam. it's looking like a nice day today so i'm going to have a better look. i'll take some pictures.

Welcome from central Calif. Good deal! :Egyptian: :Egyptian:

 

[salrjk]

the cam looks ok to me. maybe the motor that's on it isn't totaled.

Two motors?....use them both and you'd have a 2200....

Let us know what is what when you find out what is what...=)

What year is the second motor? Just curious.
