The guy mentioned that a shop had tested the compression and it was not what he wanted in one cylinder, but he didn't know what it was specifically. It seemed to fire up ok with some gas in the tank and ran well enough but was spewing gas out of a vent tube that I think was connected to the petcock.

Also, there was oil in the air box, the left muffler was cracked and it was just a little rough all over. Anyway, I'm not sure of what is normal or acceptable with these bikes. I'm fairly confident that I can get it into good running order, just not sure how much in needs. It has been listed for a while and he dropped the price by half when we met up. I showed up on my 78 GL1000 and we got to talking about that and his GL1200 project, which is why he needs the garage space. I appreciate any input or if anyone wants to try to talk me out of it. I'm fairly certain that I am going to try to purchase this, that's how MBS works

I don't plan on putting nearly amount of effort into the CX as I did making the goldwing perfect, but mechanical costs will be a consideration. I already figure it needs a carb rebuild and petcock. If needed, a stator replacement would be cake on this compared to the goldwing. I've already been over to
