Free bike?

A fellow flyer's wife had a Honda V-45 Magna with clogged up carbs. Guy took them off, cleaned, etc. six times, NFG.

Please take this off my hands!

Too easy, what if I just fixed it and gave it back?

No, Take it.

I'm leaning toward cleaning the four carbs jammed inconviently between the V-4 jugs and giving it back.

WW GRM DO?

If it were a Sabre I'd already be heading your way

my buddy has a sabre and that thing is awesome

If it's an 87 or 88 in good shape, I've been looking for one for a while. I'll give you and he each $500, everybody wins!

I went to look at this one:

but like many half-finished projects, several pieces had gone missing. I'd love to find a complete one to work on and fix back up.

I'd sell it and give him half.

get it and pass it to me for $100?

I'd fix it and ride it around a bit... then give it back or give him some money for it. It is a sweet motor. Sounds like sex. You might want it.

Cleaning those carbs, and reinstalling them is easier said than done. Don't under estimate the job.

Since the previous owner has already done it several times, I'd suggest looking at the ignition modules (think there's two on the Magna). Far more likely at this point, imo.

If I were in your shoes, I'd give it to my good friend, Minimac. I hear he just loves older Hondas.
