Yes I have thought about all these things but the reason I want to do this is that all the wreaking yards I have talked to about getting the proper engine for this unit all want around$500cdn for it..ouch.That is alot of cake for a single cylinder two stroke free air 250cc engine and that is without the clutch or carb.
I picked this machine up for a hundred bucks so I figure that I can spend a few hours and hopfully not too much cake on it.
