For a weedwhacker I won't spend more than $30. I've paid $20 or less for all 3 of mine and that's all I'd spend on them. I buy the WW with the shaft on it, nothing done to the engine, usually off craigslist stating that the engine runs rough. I have to tear it down (takes 5 to 15 minutes) clean the carb, and start the engine out on break in levels of oil. Essentially in a couple of hours I'll have a engine that runs almost as good as new and looks pretty sharp. $80? I can get a brand new WW for that money or bid on a chengine on eBay.
For a WW I look for the max CC I can get, which is right about 30cc.
AS for a 2stroke chengine, I don't think we should be spending as much as we are on the entry level kits. I just got one for my Bday and my SO spent $130 on it including shipping. Personally I think it should have been $75. AS for CC on that I want to be as close to legal as possible and here that's 50cc or less.
AS for a pit bike motor... To me it's just a horizontal happy time unless it's a name brand or a 4 stroker, why not get the chengine that looks better? Here in the states $50 for a pit bike engine is pretty good in my book. The pit bike engine is a hard fit in a bike frame.
