can am
I used to have a 1985 Can am 250 (I dont know the model). It was in pretty bad shape when i got it, but it ran. And it continued to run for the next 3 years of riding it almost everyday. This was when i was about 14, so i didnt know too much about engine upkeep, so i never even changed the transmission oil! Never cleaned the carb either or anything of the sorts. Just mixed gas and went dirt biking, haha. The thing didnt even have piston rings and it rang perfectly fine until the front axle snapped. Everything but the engine sorta deteriorated over time. Dead luck finding replacement parts for these bikes. But i still have the engine and carb, i bet if i stuck it in a frame and hooked up everything, shed fire right up! VERY reliable Bombardier Rotax engine.
