hi guys, new to the forum of course. I have the chance to buy a 1985 js550 and a 1985 440, both Kawasakis. Anyways, the guy has had them since new and is getting rid of them because of age. About the skis, the 55 runs but i need to do a compression test on it. Does anyone know what psi i should be looking for on the 550? Also, anything else i should know before buying?
The 440 doesn't run. It was the ski his wife used, but apparently there was a part that corroded and it caused problems with the engine. All the parts are there but it would definitely need to be rebuilt.
The package comes with a double trailer that is in pretty good shape. All for $1000, but i think if i offered him $800 he would take it. Does that sound like a good deal? Thanks for the help and comments.
