A little over a month ago someone brought me a minibike to repair, it was an oldie, a Cat, with an old briggs motor on it, it has points in it so it's old!
Well along with the points, it has the 4 bolt magneto in it, I looked on line, and magnetos are quite expencive, but I found a used one for $30.00, time I got it home here, plus I put a fresh set of points in it, and a new diaphram in the carb, also cleaned it up some, well it took awhile to get it running, (about a 3 weeks), and when I got it running, I called the guy, and he said he was broke, but he would pick it up next Friday, which was 2 fridays ago, i called Saturday morning, cause he didn't come on Friday and he said that his house got broken into, bla bla, and he would pick it, the friday after Thanksgiving, again I called him on Saturday morning and asked What's up, he's saying that he's still having financial problems, now I told him at first that my fee would be $40.00 to look at the bike and if it took parts, it would be plus parts.
When he asked me how much it was to get the bike back, I told him it would be $100.00, including the parts. What would be the grace period to wait until I quit calling him? Is it 30 days or should I go longer?
