I am being offered the above motor for several hundred dollars. I was surprised when I looked up the book value on this motor was quite low. The top cylinder has 125, the lower three are at about 250 pounds. A leak down test was performed that showed the intake valve on the # 1 cylinder was bad. The motor comes with all controls, cables and gauges for about 700.. Hour meter shows 496 hours,the motor is quite clean. The motor starts up and runs really well in the test tank. I doubt it woulld run well throttled up with a load. Are there known issues with this year and hp Suzuki ? I work on two stroke motors at my home so I think I know what I am doing. Have not been beat up yet. This would be a winter project motor and learning experience for me. Is the above price reasonable or should I just keep walking on this one ?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Curious - How did the leak down test pinpoint the #1 intake valve?
