Need some info on a motor swap

[Crackerjack86]

I have an 83 Suzuki ALT 125, it needs the carb rebuilt and a whole new pull start. That's going to be more than I paid for the thing. I was wondering is their a more modern Suzuki 4 stroke motor in the 125-250 range that would be a direct replacement...motor and trans....electronic ignition would also be a plus...I can mount a battery.

I think that with buying a different engine you'd be in the hole even worse. Even if you already had an engine laying around the conversion would still nickel and dime you past the price of a pull start and carb rebuild. With the projects that I plan to keep, I think in terms of whether it's worth it to me; not as worried about whether I can get my money back or not.

If you're dead set on a newer four stroke, you may be able to use one off of a RMZ 125. It's an air cooled trail bike. I believe they're electric start as well.
