beat up two stroke honda -- is it worth it?

two stroke honda, the guy who gave it to me said the engine's shot,
but the head was ported. any experts out there think this thing is
worth fixing up or should i sent it to the scrap yard?

One of my cardinal rules is to always avoid two-strokes with ported heads.

 

The gold anodized head will bring $200 on eBay if the chamber is
perfect, as will the aluminum swing arm. You will have to market them
properly with a good description, etc., but these old speed parts are in
high demand. I wish someone had given it to me.

You don't port heads. Barrels, yes.

It's junk. Throw it away.

 

the serial number on the head tube of the frame says CR125M-10114291

on the engine it says CR125ME-1021650

would it really cost $4,000 to repair?

 

I told you- it's a 1974, the first year for the 125 Elsinore.

No.

 

I would fix it up ,you dont have to be perfect with it just get it
running and give a nice black(or whatever color you like) krylon paint
job and add some modern mx decals most people wont know the difference
,the biggest thing is just have fun and take your time.
