'79 Hawk (US) engine seized the other day. Rest of the bike is in pretty good shape so if it's not too outrageous, I'd like to try to find an engine for it. Problem is I have absolutely no idea where to start. Any ideas? I hate getting stuff from a junkyard becuase it's usually, well, junk.
It seems that there are several options:
- repair the engine (see below)
- buy another bike for parts
- get the engine from the scrapyard
If you can establish the broken parts, you might opt for repairs. All depending on the estimated costs of course, but that is something you'd have to find out yourself.
- Repairing -
I guess the first step would be identifying which bike/model/year you own.
Second step would be to find your bike in this list
If you just need some items for repair then you should visit the the 'partsfiche' section. From there, you should be able to determine the parts you require.
