So I found this guy selling a 1979 suzuki gs425 on letgo for $800. He's real and all, no ebay shipping scam or anything like the last bike I saw on craigslist.
So the bike has 2000 original miles and was partially restored, but he said recently one of the cylinders stopped firing. He also says there is a pinhole in the gas tank.
So my question is, should I buy it and try to fix it myself? For $800 the bike is in spectacular condition, chrome is shiny and paint is good. But what could the problem be with the one cylinder and how much would that cost? also how much would it cost to fix or replace the gas tank? Is there any way that I could run some quick easy tests If I go to see the bike to determine the problem?
