What to look for when buying

[Keith.P]

I know it late in the day, but have been offered a CPC 1966, going for a look this weekend, do I need to look out for anything, other than the basics? You know ht lead in hand, tongue on the spark plug!
Thanks.

Well, that was a wast of a post.
Just hope its not £20 wasted.

Well, lets see what your AU $33.12 got you then.

Pic please.

I hope you checked the Big End "Crotchy Notchet" first!

Well, I didn't feel happy about the price, so we agreed on £30--$49.76 AU, still very happy even though Its twice what I paid for the little one, just nice to have another gull and a new project.
Its a little bigger than my other one.

Not doing the tank then

Looks good, does it run?

H-A

[Keith.P]

Had it running, and it pumps, it has carb problems, so will have a better go at it tomorrow.

Hey Pizey - you've got more than enough experience to know if you were buying a pup, and at that price you've got you money back is spares!

[Keith.P]

Did have it running today and after the smoke cleared all seems to be working well.
The original carb had some corrosion and pitting, so I ended up putting an old Ramsomes mower carb on, after changing the needle and jet over.
Well I do have some experience, but still had some lemons, the last Gull I got hold of looked like it was used as an anchor, seized solid and still is.
So if anyone need any Featherweight bits.
