[monstertruckr81]

Im Getting Ready To Spend 500buks On A Motor That Has Only A Few Origional Hours On It And Wanting To Know If Theres Any Tthing I Should Check For B-4 Buying It Heres Some Pics

[monstertruckr81]

Ok The Files Of The Pics Are Too Big So It Wont Let Me Post Them

[ATC-Eric]

no pics. What kind of motor?

You can crank on it to feel if theres compression, or do a compression check........

[monstertruckr81]

Its A 350x Motor

[monstertruckr81]

ok heres the pics i figured it out lol

haha

In one of the pics it looks like the kicker post is broken. I would ask for better pics of that.

[monstertruckr81]

it got cut off when they cut the frame up and the stator wires are cut too
but i have another motor that i was going to rob parts off of (like the kicker shaft and the stator

[ATC-Eric]

Few hours ay? I second the kicker notion, definently looks broken.


The only way Ill believe theres low hours on it, is if its been thrown around in a garage for a couple years, and left outside.

Hows he going to ask $500 for a motor, and not even clean it up?


I dont know man. I would ask for some better pics of it.

Good luck

[Bryan Raffa]

yes that kicker snaped,,possibly something locked up

[ATC-Eric]

Why did the cut the frame up?

And why so careless?

and is that $500 shipped?

With that kicker like that, its just convienent enough to not be able to check for compression........

i bet its one of the take out motors...thats why the frame and wires are cut....still dont explain the kicker shaft

[edog]

I think the head gasket blew,and almost all of the oil came out.This caused it to

become seized.Then somebody tried to kick it over and broke the kicker shaft.

Looks like it has low hours on it,There are alot of things you can look for on the

outside of the motor.


I would offer $200

[monstertruckr81]

the motor is only an hour from my house so i was going to go pick it up and heres what the guy told me he stated that this motor came off a bike when they outlawed the sale of atcs and when he got it there was still a portion of the frame still bolted to it he offered to put a new kicker shaft in it and so far has been pretty up front with me i want a motor that will last and dont have to wrench on it every time i go ride

[monstertruckr81]

i can zoom in on the pic and it was cut off if it broke there wouldnt be cut marks on it

[Liquid-Darkness]

I would offer $200-250 max. There are excelent engines on ebay every week for $475 shipped!
