1980 auto

I have a chance to buy a '80 400?auto for $600. Frame recent powder coat, rebuilt Ohlins and forks. BUT there is no spark. Good price or stay away? thanks. Price for new ignition or whatever might fix?

A 390 auto ! 400 is for 400 wrlc 84 ( liquid cooled). Any pics ?

Might just need the flywheel removed, and the crank end/flywheel mating surfaces cleaned. I had a no spark issue years ago on my 79 390, did the above and had great spark. Could also be bad grounds on the coil, etc.....I would look into it some more before poo-pooing it

Worse case scenerio Vance can redo your motosplat for $400~ or go with an MZB for $550(my preference).

The transmission is where the real money can lie... I have 2 extra 390's for this reason.

Sorry, no pics. I thought the seller said it was a 4 something, like 420 or 430, Heck I might be wrong. I do remember him saying that Cunningham won the Enduro series on one that year. What the heck, I spent 600 + on a lot worse things, I'll pick it up next week if he still has it.

The 1981 and 1982 automatics are 420's. Fun bikes. The spark could be a simple fix. since the bike has been apart there it's probably been monkey'd with.
