    Whats a rough estimate to rebuild a 220cc engine?

    I rebuilt the carb 5 years ago thinking thats what the problem was idled fine for 5 min then died never started again. Turned out that the carb housing was cracked. Original problem was it would dry foul the plug bad. 5 years later of sitting, tires are rotted and other parts missing. Would it be wise just to buy something else and scrap the frame?

    I would scrap it. Five years just sitting is going to lead to more problems than you can see. Dry rotted rubber, dried out seals, rust in places you can't see, frozen parts, a total nightmare.

    If you put $3k into it you will have a nice $500 atv.

    ^^^ What they said. Kaw prices are similar to everyone else. Even using aftermarket parts your going to be $500 to $600 to do the top end. After sitting that long the fuel system will need a lot of TLC. Better to replace.

    Cheapcycleparts is who I used to find all the parts I needed to resurrect an 87 Kawasaki 300 and my current pig chaser, a 98 mule 2510 I picked up that had been sitting for years. If it's got compression issues it's not worth the effort. The old Kawasakis had copper floats which were prone to getting needle holes and sinking, causing the carb to flood out. Just a last shot, if you haven't tossed it yet, pull the float and hold it down in a cup full of gas. If you see bubbles or it stays down when you let your finger off, it's bad.
