Gents,
My search for a good used Honda on tracks has brought me to some models that look good via the pictures, however I'm really trying to dig into their details before I can put hands on them to check out the actual mechanics that I've learned need to be checked prior to purchase (thanks to all you guys via the many many threads on SBF for that knowledge
).
So how do I decode the serial numbers into a manufactured year? I've searched the forums and I can't for the life of me find a thread that talks about this. I've also seen posts that say they changed the fuel caps from black to chrome on a particular year, or the exhaust pipe color etc., I'd like to learn what years all that type of stuff transpired. Some of the sellers I've contacted simply don't know the year of the blower because they bought it second hand or they've lost track of time etc.
For instance one I'm currently looking at is a HS624TA (serial: szaj-2100722). I take it most models have the serial # on the rear of the blower toward the bottom (see pic) correct? Is there guidance out there to decode this to the year it was produced?
I know these things will run a long time with proper MX but really wanting a model not over 5 years old. Greatly appreciate your help in advance!
