Looking to purchase a solid, good running WB 580 and mount. Anyone wish to part with one?

Thanks, Sterling

I have what I believe to be one -- left hand model.
The 580's and 700's look the same and the tag is beyond reading.
It's a little rough but has good compression so I am quite sure it will run fine.
It would need to be fully gone over, cleaned, new carb kit (i have), but with some effort it should be just fine.
If your interested you can call me m-thurs 423-698-0847
I can get you some photo's if needed.

Sterling, there you go! Even if it's a 700, the Mantis would accept the extra power O.K., and the era is absolutely correct. TJ
