If Buds offer falls through you can also search the want ad magazine in
the parts section
I noticed a five main engine for $50 some where in massachusetts. $50
seems like a good deal to me.
I wish I had the latest copy to quote you. I borrowed my brothers but had
to give it back friday
It was listed in the latest copy. A Friend of mine up here on the
northshore (Woburn Wakefield area )
has a rebuilt motor ready to drop in. I think Its of 18v vintage. If your
interested drop me a line
at 781 932 5692.
Good luck, Happy hunting!
