Keep the 400ex.

Look, the motor is sitting out in the open, not covered up or anything. The quad looks like crap bro.

I'm with hondaracer_34. if the quad is left outside without the engine covered up then this should tell you a lot about the owner. If it has been out side uncovered for a while then it could need more than a crank in order to fix it properly. Even if the quad is covered up, the top of the engine being off and not sealed up would bother me. Dust and dirt along with moisture could get in there. Just my opinion

Yeah definatly. Keep the ex
