1947 Harley Davidson WL 45" Flathead for sale in Carmine, Texas

1947 Harley Davidson WL 45" FlatheadGreat looking older restoration. Red paint has a few nicks and scratches, but it looks good overall.He rode it very little and it has not been started for nearly 10 years. My plans were to get this back on the road, but as it will be awhile before I get to it, I thought I'd offer it here as is. We replaced the battery, drained the fluids and replaced the float and needle in the M-51 carburetor. Unfortunately, the ratchet gear slips badly when you kick it over and I cannot get enough of a crank on it to get it to fire. It sputters a bit, but there just isn't enough momentum to get it to go.The bike has clean 47WL VIN and matching 47-5604 belly numbers Transmission is a 3 speed. There are obviously some repop parts as well as a lot of good originals. I believe the tank and fenders are original. Front fender is obviously a later model as used on the last WL's and some Servi-Cars. Rear fender looks original, but someone mounted the braces incorrectly. This stressed the lower rear fender around the rivets and there is some paint cracking there.For a faster respond please reply with your phone number! Thanks
