Broken Honda GX200 worth anything?

[kartkid11]

Alright so i just picked up a kart and it came with a GX200 6.5hp engine on it, it has a large crack running across the block and the pull start only moves a couple inches for some reason. If its worth anything I'm gonna try and sell it and just want a guide price so i don't get ripped off. If not ill probably just keep it for spare parts. Thanks!

Keep it for parts...

Spare parts are always nice to have mate

Tear it apart and see if it threw a rod.

Didn't think pics were necessary since the only damage visible from the outside was the crack. But here's a picture of that

That looks like water damage. In the variety of frozen style

Looks like the cover was tightened too much... caused a fault to appear when turned on....

You must be new here. Pics are always necessary. We're like 99% men here and fun fact--we're visually oriented.

I'd definitely file that engine under toast.

Thank you for that astute observation Joe. I love how nothing gets by your keen eyes.

heeyy just buy a new gx200 clone short block for 30 bucks (kidding) but if everything else was fine, you could, in theory. But i bet the insides dont look too hot either.

New engine block for $30? Where at? Psssst, you can send me a PM.

He said the pull cord would only move a few inches.

Thanks everyone for the help, ended up ordering a 208cc clone for $150 Canadian with free shipping (whoop whoop) So i guess ill just keep this one handy for parts and what not. From what i understand from the previous owner, the kart was sitting for a long time and when i got it there was no air filter on it, so who knows what got in there.
