Help with flathead recommendations!!!

would anybody recommend or say if this is a good engine to buy for a mini bike or go kart? i know the price is good it's just that people aren't bidding on it and i'm wondering why

The only thing that makes this a reasonable value is the free shipping.
Reason for non bidding may be because he only accepts Money order/Cashiers check or cash if locally picked up. He does not state if engine is cheaper with local pick-up (no shipping charge).
I only purchase with PayPal which apparently the seller will not accept.

i would keep looking
$100 is pretty high for one of those
check your local craigslist
make a pso on craigslist saying that you want to buy a small engine 2-5 hp for under $50

or whatevervsize of engine for any price and see whats happens

If that.. belt sprocket thing is stuck on there, that's one reason. Shipping is about $30. $70 for a Briggs 5HP is... crazy. Usually $50 shipped is about right.
