This motor was given to me recently...just wondering if it's worth keeping and rebuilding/hopping up. I don't know much about these motors or whether or not there's an aftermarket for them. I was told that the rings were shot in this motor, but once I got it home I found that it's locked up. Wondering if I should keep it and rebuild it, scrap it, or sell it for parts (if the parts are worth anything). Thanks for any info.

Oh yeah, it also had a briggs pull start on it

Does anyone have any experience with these motors?

I have the 5HP model. Stock carb always sucked but after putting a $25 carb from Amazon.com on it, it's been a great engine.

I have one I rebuilt and has been sitting on my bench for about 5 years... ARC makes a billet rod that fits and there are some Dyno cams on ebay... Not a real high performance engine but they run good..

Remind me a week or so in advance of your trip and I might shoot you an offer. I'd make an offer now but I just made an order to OldMiniBikes earlier today, so I'm spread a little thin now

They are great motors and there are some performance cams and rods for them also. Look on OldMiniBikes for the rod and exhaust, swap out the plastic cam for a steel one from a flathead.
