bought a "parts quad" and am wondering what to do with it

[reagor]

so i picked up a 1stgen blaster (idk the year) for $200

it had the cylinder and head off and the piston was missing half the skirt

the head doesnt have any damage and the cylinder and bottom end have surface rust

i soaked the bottom end in atf and worked it back and forth and she freed right up and rotates freely...kickstarter will move everything and all the gears in the trans work (kickstarter spins output shaft), i turned it upside down and shook it no rattles or piston parts fell out

so i know i got a descent bottom end and trans

do you guys think a quick cleanup and rebore the cylinder and throw in a piston and she should be good to run? or because of the bottom end being exposed it should be torn down and rebuilt from the bottom up, throw a stroker kit into it (if it needds a crank why not), maybe a bigbore


i was also thinking of parting out the rollingframe to try and make some $$ back

the bike has all stock suspension and everything appears to be strait

the tires are worn to sh*t and it had 18" rears and 21"fronts that look like it died doing donuts on asphalt

hell even the rear cable brake has a working caliper(when i pull the cable)

my only other thought is to swap in a china made 4stroke electric start (whatever i can find cheap) and make it a loaner/trailbeater

so what does BF recommend?
does BF need stock parts? its got good aarms, good steering stem, crappy nerf bars, white plastics, drilled af lid, 250main in the carb, strait axle, beatup sprockets, and a blue/black seat with a little tear

Or you could pay your YEARLY membership donation of $10 and post in the classifieds. That rule is there to protect our community. We don't want some joker coming on here scamming people. If they've either paid $10 for the year or have 300 posts, you know they're at least SOMEWHAT legitimate.

If you decide to rebuild that engine, it may be a smart move to go ahead and split the cases. Crank bearings DO NOT like being exposed to the weather and with half a skirt missing it's possible that you have a broken case. The case can be repaired and the crank bearings replaced for relatively little money but ruining a good bore and new piston because the bearings were bad of case was broken is going to add considerably to the sting....

if i split the cases do you think the crank/rod would still be usable after the surface rust is cleaned off or would i need to replace/rebalance them

It's POSSIBLE that the crank can be salvaged. You'll have to THOROUGHLY check it out. Light surface rust on the crank throws can be cleaned and won't affect the balance of the crank throws. The bearing and thrust washers will have to be checked out to make sure the piston didn't damage them.
