If it is stuck and has no guarantee, at most $50 to $100 (or maybe $200 if it comes with clutch housing, generator, and starter).
Just a guess (and, I am cheap and careful).

All bets are off if its stuck. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,747 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,747 | The price I usually look for is "If you'll haul it away, you can have it!" I've collected several that way.

It was stuck but hadn't been until some nit wit took the carb off (stoled it) and didn't put anything over the hole. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 19 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 19 | Why can't I ever find deals like that when I'm needing something???

I usually find the guys that think they have a gold mine in an old car or truck. Maybe I'm just not that good of a negotiator. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | I bought 3 a number of years back for $75.00. wrongly stripped of what i wanted and took the to the scrapper. makes me sick to think about it. i did get my $75.00 back.
