no i personally would not. first of all you dont know if the engine runs, second of all you dont know how it has been treated/ran and finally you never know what you might getttttt. but again this is my opinion

I bought one a long time ago, but no matter the type, you need some ironclad information. If the seller is fairly local, you could even stop by for more assurance. if its vague and unknown, I would pass. Most boneyards in Colorado keep their 80's-90's motors indoors, that could be an alternative. other ones leave them outside and rust shut. just my 2 cents.

Catch me if you can
It's easy for somebody on the other side of the country to send you a steaming pile ofin a box. It's not so easy for them to sell it to you in person. I bought my KX500 engine from Egay. The seller told me he had "repaired" one of the side covers. Well he did repair a broken side cover with some epoxy. What he failed to tell me was that the left engine case was completely smashed and totally useless. He "repaired" it with JB Weld. The first time I started the motor oil came shooting out of his "repair". I hadn't yet realized that the casw was smashed because he had painted over his "repair" and you couldn't tell until you really looked at it. I got hosed....

Lord of the trike
I wouldn't hesitate to bid on that engine. The ones I'm weary of are the sellers with no feedback, and in their listing they have 1 crappy pic of a dirty engine.

i have bought multiple cars and car engines on ebay from all over the us. first
1) how many items has the seller sold
2)hows sellers rating

2)see if they will take a video of the engine running
