I have the chance to pick up a KE100 with less than 200 (claimed) miles on it. The bike itself is in really good condition, with the exception of a missing side panel. HOWEVER--the engine is seized. I don't know if it seized from sitting too long in the desert southwest and then it was moved to the CA coast, or if it was running when it happened. I'm thinking it wasn't running, but can't be sure. Bottom line, the guy is asking $250 for it. I'm pretty good with a wrench and am not afraid to dig into the engine. However, I have very little experience with 2-strokes. If the engine is seized because it was sitting, will penetrating oil break it free? If it does, can I use the same parts if the cylinder wall just needs to be touched with some super fine steel wool to knock any crud off? Or will something like this be a money pit? Thanks for the help!
