Strange - this shows up as a link, but doesn't work when I click on it.  If I copy and paste to a new window, it shows up.

Bad thing about craigslist is sometime when the items are sold the links disapear other times people keep them up and don't respond to them.

Once cached, it should work, it's a quirk with some browsers.  If you've already cut/paste, the next time you click on the link it will work.

Still didn't work - the browser (firefox) sees the link as http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/mcy/753507463.html%20  which is why it isn't working. Usually don't have a problem.  Copying and pasting the original text of the link works though.  Anywho....

That "%20" is a space that Blindstitch inadvertantly picked up when he copied the URL.  Most browsers will ignore those when you paste into the adress bar, but in creating the link, it was converted into ASCII code.

Interesting. I didn't even see the extra space.

Is the 81 CX500 D engine the same as the 82 GL500I?

Not directly. They have different electrics.

It's supposed to work if you reuse the original rear cover, alternator (rotor and stator), pulser, and carbs.  Haven't tried it, personally.
