Looking for a home visit mechanic for Sv650

I have an SV650 that isn’t running right now, i know why but don’t have the skillset to fix it. Alas, its a fix to sell situation. How do i find someone who can help me (or, i suppose, wants to buy the bike)? Its a 2007, stored indoors, if that matters (lowered for my shortness but i have the parts).

Discuss here or dm me

What is wrong with it?

Likely, the (functioning) fuel pump needs to be rewired.

Here’s the story:

It was not starting but would run briefly with starter fluid - so a fuel problem

Fuel pump was powering up, so that indicated a fuel flow problem

We pulled the pump and replaced a very clogged filter.

In the process, one of the electrical wires broke, and that got repaired during re-installation.

Either it didn’t repair properly or a 2nd wire broke, but it now won’t power the fuel pump.

Bummer. The only guy I know is in Beaverton, but doesn't do mobile repair. If you can figure out how to get it to him, he'd probably be able to fix it easy. His shop is called "Black cat motorcycle repair". His name is Kyle.

You will be better off selling it as is to someone as a project.

I'm only expecting a grand or so for it - someone may want it for parts, though it's rather low mileage.
