New from Georgia,

I'm new here ,but from what I've seen so far, this forum is one of the best out there! glad to be here. I purchased a '86 125 four trax a couple months ago for $300 ,had to get a repair manual and put the sub transmission together,all the parts were there,they were just a little rusted,but that was no problem to clean off with a product called Evapo Rust,this stuff is awesome,all you do is put the parts in a bucket and let them soke over night,then just rise off with water and they are good as new! I had to buy a new carb and replaced the key switch with an after market one total $13 including shipping off Ebay. I then changed all the fluids, it runs great. my son loves it, so after all done it has cost me only around under $450 for the 125. I'm planning on purchasing a seat cover for it a little later down the road, the body plastic is a little faded,but no cracks, I'm going to try and polish it up a little.

Now just this past week I purchased a 250 four trax for $500 , I'm going to have to take carb off and clean it,plus the brakes need a little ajusting, I'll keep everyone up dated on this latest project.
