[QUOTE="pjcalla, post: 331837, member: 12279"] Thanks for the replies so far. I am in Indiana, if that matters. I know it's probably not the best idea, but if I can pick it up for a song, then source all the parts needed and install them, I may have a good running motor for half (or less than half) of what I've seen them go for on cl, or I could have a piece of junk. I'm not opposed to working on it, and have a full shop at my disposal. I have never done this before, but I don't mind learning. I wouldn't say I'm a mechanic by any stretch, but know how to turn a wrench, so to speak. At the very least, I would have to buy the rope starter (or electric, plus mount), carb, prop and service manual. I'm thinking around $300 for those, if I watch fleabay or find a donor motor on cl. Does the $300 sound reasonable? Let's say for discussion sake, that the compression checks out, and I have the ability to do the work. How much would you pay for said motor? Thanks in advance.
