found a 1998 gsx limited with 88 hours and a nice trailer for sale for
$650 , does not run and has been in storage since 2004, wondering if sitting for that long in a garage will cause to many issues , ski looks very clean. even has a title. says it will turn over but wont start. what do you guys think?
Congratulations, I think you got a great deal. I'm going to warn you about something, I noticed that the ski has an Ohio registration, unless you live in Ohio (I have no idea where Lake Norman is), it's a bitch to get it transferred out of state. I just transferred one from OH to KY and had a hard time, and I have friends in the motor vehicle department. You'll need the signed, notarized title, and also a bill of sale. Good luck.

That's is a great deal.
Now you have some things to go over before a water test.
Dont go running it yet until something's are checked first.
Have you gotten to start it.
Check condition of gas/oil. Probably good idea to clean tanks if possible.
Pour some oil down the jugs before cranking so it has lubrication. It's been sitting so long.
Change plugs out.
Go over fuel system and replace grey hoses.
Removes carbs and send them out to be cleaned or save and do it yourself.
If not, Dr Honda is a member here that owns a shop and can do them for you.
Check compression if you can. Like others have said.
