I got a much better look at all of my bikes today and found out that about half of them weren't stuck afterall. Some cranked over very easily, while others need a little coaxing with some WD-40 and my Flywheel wrench. Both Silver and Red Magnums are free and clear and I anticipate the motor on the incomplete Magnum to crank over tomorrow. The Motobecane Sebring cranked right over, as did the Orange General Top-Tank. There was a Minarelli motor on a beat up General frame that even cranked right over. The Blue QT50 cranked easily as well. The bikes that I couldn't get to crank over today are soaking with WD-40 now. I'm gonna try them again tomorrow. The bikes that cranked over today should be nice and quiet when I get them started as there was no rust inside of them whatsoever.

In light of today's findings, for now, the Orange General has been withdrawn from the pool of eligible mopeds available for sale. Had someone bought it between yesterday and today, they would have gotten a hec of a deal for $75! A complete, running top-tank General is worth much more than $75. I'm undecided as to whether I will cosmetically restore the General myself, or sell it "AS IS". I'll see how many people are interested in it now.

The fate of the Magnums has not yet been determined. If you are still interested in either the Silver or red Magnums, email me and let me know again. I'm not sure whether I will restore them to running condition first and sell them, or sell them "AS IS" (with free motors). Let me know whether you are looking for one ready to run, or will get it running yourself. Obviously if I do the work, the sales price will reflect it.

Thanks!
