Some guy is selling one locally in pristine cosmetic shape (but with a stuck carb float, so it goes leak-splutter-leak rather than actually starting) for $1k -- I'm tempted to offer him $500 cash tomorrow and haul the little barstid away if he takes the offer.

I'm assuming that a carb rebuild will cost under $50 in parts even if I do have to replace clogged jets -- should be a fun toy that I don't have to worry much about.
