I have a Lifan 98cc (97.7cc exactly, for technical purposes), side-valved (flathead) doodlebug engine that I would really like to have a spare handy for. It is a metric shaft, just a hair bigger than a 5/8 shaft, so I am looking for an exact replacement of this engine. If you have the stock carb for it, that is absolutely wonderful, but if not thats ok too. The stock carb is working great for me with the governor removed, so I don't need any aftermarket carbs with it. I will most likely be looking to make this purchase 2 weeks from now when I next get paid (this week's paycheck is already spoken for). But I figure there is no harm in looking around, so if you like you can pm me and let me know what you've got. As stated above, it must be a Lifan flathead 98cc with the metric 5/8 shaft. Send me a message and we can discuss price and shipping, unless its required that that information be posted in this thread, not real clear on that part. Anyway, let me know. Thanks!

Hi, I have a motor from a Motovox MBX10 we swapped out to a 5 HP Briggs. Motor, carb linkage all there. The key slot in the shaft has a sloppy spot but still works fine. (longer key if needed). My son is 190lbs and that 97cc just didn't cut it. I purchased a new clutch for the mini at the local Nappa for $50, but with his size it was not the issue. If the motor will work for you $25 for the clutch and the motor is yours just cover shipping.
