85GSL Test Drive Questions

The owner said that when he bought it it wasn't running and he had the carb rebuilt. I'm not sure if he did it or had it done. There was a Haynes manual, a catalog and a Nikki carb article printout in the storage compartment. I was leaning towards either a vacuum leak or crossed hoses somewhere in the rats nest.

As far as the body, the driver's door and fender are bent from where the two have made contact in the past. Some rust but as far as I can tell nothing structural. Interior is fine except for the water leak in the hatch area which I think is either a tail light seal or the hatch seal and plugged up drain holes.

We'll probably make him an offer on it this weekend.

Thanks for the responses.
