rebuilding 1982 KZ250

GOT IT!.....................

Found a parts dealer locally and way in the back corner
covered in grease and crap sat a grimey hunk of metal...
looked familiar...... rubbed the big gob of crud off the closed end of the casing and barely made out the printing.... MITSUBA SM-8211 ........

Just then an employee asked if he could help me...

How much???? Uh..$5.00.... it's in poor shape.

SOLD...... Boogied home... grabbed my can of GUNK engine cleaner and a toothbrush..... 30 minutes later while considering taking off the end-caps and switching them onto the SM-8203, I decided to just see if it still worked....... CRANK...CRANK....CRANK...
Holy crap.... it still works....

Now I'm trying to convince my wife I need a KZ400 or KZ440 so I can use all the left over parts on.....
