I'm looking into buying a 2001 660R that isn't running. I haven't had a chance to go look at it yet because of work, but cosmetically it's in good condition and it does turn over. The guy says it turns over hard, but if he takes the plug out it goes smooth. I want to check the decompression mechanism to see if its thrown the weights and damaged anything, but I doubt this guy wants me taking his engine halfway apart. Am I going to be able to see what I need to by taking the valve cover off? Is there anything else I should be on the lookout for?
It's got an upgraded CDI, but I don't know what kind, and the transmission was replaced recently. He's asking $1300, but I was thinking about offering $1000-$1100. Does this sound with a decent price? If I get it, I'm probably going to fix it and sell it unless I get attached, but If there's damage from the decompression mechanism, I may not want to deal with it depending on how bad it is
