I does sound like a pretty fair deal for the $50... but they are used, and no guarantee.
another 20 for them to start it on the bench.
$70 is getting to be serious.
Do you know they perform well, and run a long time?

Ive used 2 of these in the past and ordered one when I saw these. They are tough little f##kers. The 2 I used are still running both are on terra trikes I did for some yuppies 3 summers ago. Because of the way theyre set up i was able to run them into the bikes original drive train. just added a j shaft a couple sprockets and walah 7 usable gears.pedal assist to get moving 5mph or so then the rest was that little engine. 30mph was 3/4 throttle.

Dave that guys dropped his cork 75g lol
Yah, he's just trying to show off his "Art Gallery" store... whatever that might be...

lol
I once mis-keyed an $85,000 bid on the bay... lol

had to immediately send a note of retraction to the seller.
I think I offered to pay the 2 bucks for his auction cost, or something, cuz I was a dummy. He was understanding, and got it resolved, with days left to complete the auction for legitimate bids.

Question... Could those Tecumseh engines be said to be Hi-torque?
...and lower rpm, unless modded?

Rusty, if I remember correctly they had rpm range around 3600-3800 tops remove the gov. and change the exhaust fiddle with the carb a bit and theyre a typical high rpm 2 smoker they really tune em down for the kiddie karts. That why I think all those he has will probably run, the only time ive actually seen one burnt up was an employee at one of the local rent a kart tracks didnt mix fuel. they brought it to me and I was able to simply pop the piston out, hone the cylinder and re-assemble it started on 2nd pull

These are the TC 200 they are 2 cubic inches (35cc) the TC 300's are 3 cubic inches (48cc) you will find em on mini tillers and other yard equipment. Like i said i find em to be tough little engines like every other tecumseh 2smoker Ive ever used
