Parting out Yamaha Phazers 84 & 85

Hello,

I am parting out two Yamaha Phazers, vin #s 8x9 - 023932 PZ480SE (Special Edition -the 1984) and 80K-002898 PZ480E (Electric Start - the 1985). Here's the scoop on both sleds -

I picked up both sleds a few days ago at an auction. Both sleds have some significant problems - I have pulled both engines and removed the heads & jugs from both. The blocks on each sled have water damage - the 1984 especially, having a seized and very rusted crank. The 1985 fired up and ran before I removed the engine - the sled wouldn't idle because there is a long crack low in the crank case (probably caused by water that froze over winter), affecting the vacuum at idle. However, the sled would rev no problem, engaging the track. I have removed and cleaned the carbs on both sleds, both look good with no water damage.

These sleds are complete, but the cranks on both sleds are bad. Good heads on each, jugs might need bored & new pistons(especially on the 1984, which had much more water damage) This is why I'm not trying to restore either one - aside from this each sled looks great! If you would be interested in any parts from either sled, let me know, and make an offer. Thanks!

Indeed-y. I am going to try and procure a crankcase housing for the nicest one and bring it back to life. The other one though I won't be able to save without putting more time/money into it then I could get out of it at the end. Hopefully me selling some parts might save another sled from the same fate.
