I got this little guy over the summer. Fox Doodlebug with original paint and engine (mostly). Here it is right after I bought it:
The good- original paint, seat, controls (throttle/grips/brake lever), sprockets have minimal wear, original front decal, clutch cover and disc brake, light coil motor (works:thumbsup and best of all it RUNS:smile:. Out of all the bikes I own only three of them were runners when purchased.:laugh:
The bad-the motor has been short blocked...the block is dark silver and the tins are white. This is only bad purely for aesthetic reasons, it actually runs very strong with plenty of power and no smoke. The air filter backing plate has been changed. The recoil has been spray bombed (poorly) and has a Briggs handle. It has an ugly red plastic gas cap on the cool steel tank:no:. Dig the white brake cable. They really had the red/white thing going:laugh:. The front fender is missing. It has the high speed fork option:doah: The previous owner replaced the carb with a brand new one, but it's the wrong carb:doah:, it's for a big block and the damn thing runs way too rich.
So the plan is to "just clean it up"..........:blink:
