[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1470859, member: 19880"] My guess is that the stator is OK, but that is easily tested. I think I would have it looked at locally before shipping to Calgary - by yourself if you are comfortable with that stuff before taking it to someone who will want money. Might turn out that problems developed during storage could make it not worthwhile to put back in good running order. Rusted tank, corroded electrics, mouse-chewed wiring, leaky forks, rust in the cylinders, water pump, radiator, fuel pump, starter motor etc. A day or two of cleanup and close examination of the more vulnerable bits might make it easier to decide. A borescope could be helpful for examination of the gas tank and tops of the cylinders before trying to turn it over. Were cylinders fogged or oiled before storage? Tank empty or full? Rodent-free storage spot? How many miles on it? Good luck and welcome back to the forum!! [/QUOTE]
