The last pe250 I brought had a circlip holding the front sprocket on  which I never noticed till I got home and It was also not pointed out. A pe400 had holes drilled thru the fins on the outside of the barrel and had inch high nuts holding the barrel down ,not to mention the cup of rusty water I found when i turned the bike upside down  .Both bikes recently ran so the story went .
