I talked to a guy that said to make him an offer on these engines he has one other guy interested he said who ever offers him a better price they go to them. First I'm not sure what they are and second i have no clue on what to offer him.

Any help appreciated Thanks, Sean

sean ., it depends on what you plan on doing with them .. you gonna use them .?? its a fair deal but not a steal at 200 . if you plan on selling to make money you dont have a ton of room .. but could part out on ebay and double your money .. maybe .

Yea it would probably something to buy and try and sell to make some money for me to fund my other kart projects but I told the guy even if I couldn't afford them I would let him know what they were worth.

the one on the right theres a real real good chance its a bushing motor its deffinatly lawn mower motor witch aint that big a deal .. mill down the block ,get a bearing crank pound couple bearings in the block and you got a matched left and right west bend .. 98% of lawn mower motors are right side drive flywheel turns counter clockwise .

The guy seems real nice I don't want to hustle him but let me see what happens it sounds like the other guy nows his stuff so I'm almost sure he will get them before I do plus I just bought another kart today to part out and I'm down to $100 in the bank LOL

id be more than willing to paypal you some money to get you started .. 100 bucks aint really ripping the guy off .. like you said the other guy prolly noes a little more about vintage kart stuff than yourself .. but heck he might be thinkin 50 bucks .. cuz he has no conscious . ive won alot of goodies just by bein a halfway decent person and talking to people not just try to buy and run ..

offer him 100 that's fair for whats there.
i often get piles like that for 50$ .
the bender 5 port i just got i paid 50$ for but that was a smoking deal.

i just let the seller name a price.
remember to the seller it's just old floatsome he found in his garage leftover from back in the day
anyway steves right at $200 theres not much room for profit.
normally i try to get a good price and sell at a modest profit .
if you really want to squeeze out the most cash get for 100 and ebay.
was it me i'd buy for 100 and sell them to steve for a instant double and make a friend at same time.
