Ed, Multiple choices which all depend on how good you are with engines. New can be had on Ebay or "Small Engine Warehouse" at www.smallenginewarehouse.com/ , they run around $200. New engines have exhaust port on output shaft side and will need adapter to hang muffler. Used,.... again check ebay. They weight about 30-35 lbs so figure $25-$50 S&H. Keep eye on which side exhaust port is on. Also, make sure it's 3/4" output shaft and a good 2 1/2 inches or longer and make sure it has a threaded bolt hole in the end to hold the clutch on. I'm using a freebie, but had to buy new block and carb body. Both around $65 each. I opted to buy new block because the cost of boring it .010 and larger piston was about the same. Used the freebie because it had lighting coil. Tom M. |

Hey Ed,
I just bought a new short block from J&L and it has worked out great for me! You need to have a donor motor to take all of the old ign. and clutch parts off of though. I got the HS50 short block and just stripped all of the parts off of my old motor and re-painted and assembled the whole thing. I also picked up all new bolts for the head and stuff while I was at it.
Hope this helps!!
Super
