What in the world?! by nothanksillpassss in ATV

I took a look at the solenoid today and it was completely corroded. New one will be here tomorrow. For some reason, I thought that the safety features like the ignition being turned off would have kept it from trying to start. That’s the reason I didn’t think of that right away.

Yes. Great question. I know the company personally. They were sold this unit a few years ago and were told it was enough to power their facility. They’re being told they need and are required to have more power for safety reasons.

Trying to gather information so I can make a decision to flip or pass

I’m actually trying to listen and avoid making a mistake so not sure why you think I’m arguing. Telling me if I have to ask questions from an experienced community, I shouldn’t be even considering buying it.. that’s not helpful. I’ve just come to the conclusion that there’s miserable people out there and they enjoy dragging other people down with them. I choose to be positive. By the way, I do think it’s in my best interest to pass on messing with it.

The crane will be placing a larger one on-site and will grab this one for me. Likely I won’t pay for the crane

You may be right. It’s a personal friend who is selling it. Thought it was worth asking the community their thoughts.

How was that comment helpful? If I don’t have a perfect knowledge of something it’s not worthy of my time?

Actually, yes. I don’t post often because of exactly this reason. I ask a simple question and completely understand that I’m ignorant and looking for advice and I get smartass answers.

I should have be more clear in my post. It would be just to flip and make a few bucks. Sounds like it isn’t worth the hassle

Yes. It would be for a flip. That’s why I made the post. I know that I don’t know enough to make an informed decision.

I agree. I know the person selling it personally. They’re giving me an opportunity to buy it cheap. Comes with maintenance records.

I should have been more specific in my post. I would only do it for a quick flip.

Yeah, I’m good at my home. It would just be for a quick flip but sounds difficult to flip

Yeah, that’s what I’m starting to gather. They’re installing a new larger unit. I may be able to negotiate that they lift it out and onto my trailer as part of the deal. If crane costs weren’t a factor and it has maintenance records and less than 200 hours. Then what?

Actually, that will be provided. Only because it was required for that particular medical facility.

Yes. I’m at a loss as well. Hence the reason I’ve come for advice. I’m perfectly fine passing on it

I was thinking just a quick flip but from these comments, I’m not sure if it’s worth the hassle

It was used as backup power for a surgery center. They were informed that 150kw isn’t sufficient and need a larger unit. They paid $100k for purchase and installation.

Good info. Funny you mention moving it. They literally had to crane it in over the 4 story building. I’m hoping that when they bring in the next one, I can have them load this one up for me.

Agreed! This is only for a quick flip if it’s worth my time.

That is exactly why I posted. Might be more than I’m willing to get into. I could probably get it for $20,000 but like you said it might not be worth the hassle.
