whats do you think my T80 is wourth?
I carn't make my mind up if to keep this flog it or break it whats it wourth it was my dads so in terms of how much its pricless to me but some times you just have to get shot of stuff.
so whats an honest price I want be offended it may just get pushed to the back of the shed I don't think I will be using it.
I took it for an mot today I never made it got half way there and it the motor failed, I have fitted an ignition coil same fault no spark.
I had some kit with me and after cleaning the ignition pick up coil it fired up and got me the 5 mile back home with out fail.
So whats it wouth ?????

Noooooooooooo!!!! poor thing.
If it were mine I'd try another CDI unit, one with a silver sleeve on the wires. The early ones I've had with black sleeves have all failed in the way you describe when not used.

Re: whats do you think my T80 is wourth?
Worth about £500 I reckon, there is one in similar condition to yours at £650 on eBay with MoT & presumably no ignition problem http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1986-yamaha-moped-scooter-79cc-TOWNMATE-4-speed-gearbox-ideal-motorhome-/370643493049?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item564c12e0b9
There are others at higher prices by greedy dealers. Frankly you can by a good 5 year old Honda Innova for under £1000 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-HONDA-ANF-125-T-6-Innova-Like-Honda-90-/261093222151?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3cca5e6707 so why spend more on 20 year old Townmate?

Re: whats do you think my T80 is wourth?
Yer good call, the wheels on mine cost 300 quid crazy at the time it did not matter,
I may as well find the fault and use it for a year as I have just insured it,
I like the 125 Honda I think there fuel injection and do 100 to the gallon I may wrong though,are they speed restricted?
