Well... I asked my friend about picking up the engine for me. He says he doesnt go to colorado very often and it would probable be wisest to have it shipped. Im going to look into this more at work to see what it will cost. I would probably have fedex freight come to your house and pick it up. i'll do a little research and get back to ya. also, doyou have any idea if your bike is a california model or not? it makes no differance im just curious.
Jim

 

Drew, I need your zip code so i can put together a price for the shipping. I'll be using Fedex freight. Thanks Jim

 

My zip is 80021.

 

Also, bike is a Colorado bike.

 

Drew, everything with fedex is ok at my end. You havent yet said no so i assume(which i know is the wrong thing to do)your ok with that. whenever you get the engine removed and are ready to ship i will need to know an accurate weight. 149lbs is the change point. so if you could please give me an idea of what were lookin at with weight. a bathroom scale is close enough for this kind of government work. i would weigh what i have but i dont know what all your goingto ship with your engine, plus mine is in lots of pieces somewhere in that thing i call a garage. so i guess just keep me posted on these items as best as you can and we'll have a deal here. also what do you have in mind for payment options? im set up with paypal, check in the mail, whatever, just let me know. thanx Jim

 

I'm working on pulling some parts for another member right now. I would ship probably just the engine and carbs,but I can include anything else related to the engine that you need. I will drain all the fluids, asI'm sureFedEx doesn't want tohave to deal with any of that. I have another member that is buying the clutch, so I can leave the trans together and attatched, or I can pull it. I'll try to get it out tomorrow and give you an accurate weight. I'm also setup with Paypal so that would be the best way to go as far as exchanging money.

 

Drew, i hope you havent pulled the engine apart yet but i woild much rather not having to swap clutches from my engine to that engine. if its ok sell him my clutch and leave that one in. I'll pull it and ship wherever. please dont pull anything apart thats not necessary. lets work together here and use parts from my scrap engine, please. Jim

 

Sorry, I already pulled the clutch. I also broke the inner clutch when trying to undo that big nut on the inside. I'm just shipping him the packs and everything else from the packs out. It's actually not that hard to swap, I would say it will only take you about 30 minutes to swap the parts.

I got the engine pulled last night. With the air box, carbs, trans and engine it's sitting right at 200 pounds.

Let me know how you would like to proceed. As far as FedEx coming out to my house that's fine, but I don't have anything to pack this big thing in. Would probably need to put it in a crate.

 

Jim,

Just wondering what's going on. Are you still interested in the engine? I would like to get this out of my garage as soon as I can.

 

O.K. now we have a problem. I was interested in a complete running engine, not an incompletebroken one. my engine is mostly torn down ready for a rebuild. if i wanted to work on an engine i would have rebuilt mine.shame shame. i might still be interested in your parts engine though. what do you have in mind?
