I have an oportunity to posssibly purchase a 780 engine. The guy will also throw in a set of V-force reeds for $150 US I think. I'm not familiar with what these cost in the US for new. Is this a good oportunity? I have heard that V-Force reeds aren't all they are cracked up to be.
I would also need to separately purchas an ignition system for the tripple engine..anyone know how much one of those costs?
And finally, what is a "rack system" when your talking carbs for a tripple?
He wants $900 for the motor, $150 for the three 38mm Carbs, and $150 for the matching V-Force reeds. I'm thinking that $900 for a 780 is a little steep, given that I really wanted a 97 809 engine...but those seem to be hard to come by. What do you guys think? Should I pursue this or drop it like pants on a honeymoon?
Thanks.
