ME: "thank you very much for your inquiry. it will cost $13 to ship the parts to you via UPS"
A HOLE: "have you had them tested? i would hate to buy them and have them no work. $13 for shipping sounds pretty high, are you sure about that. also, FYI usps offers flat rate shipping."
ME: "i did not test them, but as i stated in the sale post they came off of a running machine. also, USPS has lost over $1000 worth of parts and has not compensated me for them so i prefer to use UPS."
A HOLE: "i really would like to see them tested. USPS has a flat rate box for only $6."
ME: "the $6 flat rate box is 1" thick. i cannot fit ignition coils and plug wires into that box. the next size up will cost $11 (only $2 less than UPS). i do not have a manual for these bikes, so i do not know how to bench test the coils. if you have ohm readings or a specific test in mind let me know and i can check them out for you."
A HOLE: "can you swap them onto a running bike?"
ME: "they came off of a running bike. all 4 primaries would get hot instantly at idle. it never had a misfire condition, or fouled plugs. as you can see in the pics i sent you, the wires are not chaffed or cracked and do not arc out."
A HOLE: "ok, so how much to ship them?"

If anyone knows of a small (6x8 ish) used enclosed trailer let me know. Would love to have one to drag all the larger kids things with us this summer (wagons, bikes, etc.)

Yeah, a bit big and way more than I want to spend. I can get a decent enough new one for 2200 if I really wanted to, just would rather not spend that kind of money.

Hope you don't ever have to use them! I have heard not so great things about those particular jacks. Hopefully you won't have any problems with them. I definitely need to come out your way for some wheeling sometime.
