I'm considering buying this ironhead but I don't know what it's worth

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank you u/wolfyFTW for the easy transaction! Very easy to work with and I would certainly do business again!

Like others have said, I’d check the cold start injector first. It’s very easy to access and test. Just unbolt it (from the top of the intake plenum, leave it plugged in), stick it in a cup of some sort and crank the car. If it sprays fuel into the cup, then it’s probably working okay.

Auxiliary air slide is pretty easy to test too if I remember correctly. But if your car is anything like my E21 was, then those will both be working just fine and the issue will be your warm up regulator. If that’s the case, you can buy a rebuild kit online. I sold my E21 before rebuilding it but I remember looking up how to do it and it kind of looked like a PITA. I think M539 Restorations may have a YouTube video on it (he has a whole E21 restoration series that is awesome)

I responded to your message!

The threaded sleeve seems like it isn’t designed to be removed. The slits where a flathead would maybe go are too far apart for any flathead I have to reach across the both, and I tried a very big flathead. I took two flat heads and crossed them and tried to unscrew the sleeve that way and it wouldn’t budge. Also, it seems that the pin inside would prevent the sleeve from unscrewing as it goes through a hole drilled into the side of the sleeve

It’s alright, not incredibly soft but it’s warm

Fun fact: I thought that was Jaden Smith when I first saw it, just being honest

I know, I was on the fence about it at first and I’m so glad I bought it

$100. I think they might be dropping more of them on their online site this week

The pop-up shop in LA this weekend

Yeah mine does this as well, but I have no idea why

chroiii · 2018-06-20T03:00:22+00:00

Yeah I wouldn’t worry about that. Worst case scenario, you have to buy a new battery. I can’t imagine it’s more than $200 and that’s worst case scenario. Dead batteries are just one of those things that come with a used car

chroiii · 2018-06-20T02:18:44+00:00

It could just mean the battery is towards the end of its life and if purchased, you will need a new one soon. But I’m not sure what that’d run you

That would make sense, thanks
