Mcculloch Kart engine on ebay

[Paul F]

In a past life I ran into the problem of stuff that was not declared as hazardous material being rejected if it had previously had gas / hydrocarbon fuel or oils in it. It did not matter if there were no liquids present. Never happened domestically though.

Hi Chuck
no problem i thinking it was the engine off the Kart that you were commenting on so its a reclaimed item
that motor wouldn't be a bad deal if its not a saw motor and at least 100cc model the clutch along has to be a third
or more of the value i am looking for a Mac engine for my Blitz Kart project i have the fall and winter for my search
i just don't want to make the wrong decision maybe a MC-9 or 91 something along the line of what the Kart came with
Thanks
Richard,

General for all;
Again I assert that this is one of gawdawful engines that widgacar sells on eBay that didn't make it to its destination as Chuck has revealed..
The classic tells are there, the fabbed motor mount, the horstman dxl clutch missing oil drain fill plug/ missing the starter nut....etc The seemingly new paint including the wrinkle black he's done in many past alleged kart/saw conversion engines. He's also had some funky looking fabbed intake manifolds as like the one shown. Only rarely sells 100 cc model with removable head, instead always goes for the one piece cylinder saws 80cc or less and pretties them up and sells for way bigger money than they should. Claims to rebuild with all new parts, but never shows them or the model stamped into the block. Usually sold the 80cc engines with the large BDC carbs with either rock guards or rubber Velocity stacks.
Just the fact he's using the 7/16" instead of the 3/8" length spark plugs in the round heads should tell you he's one to avoid. He buys the non-chrome wide rings like the 55123, from a supplier in Greece some of you have seen on ebay. and you'll never see an exhaust port photo with the alleged new parts. His followed follie fubars are legendary in my book and was extensively covered on the old site that has limited postings. The concern I've established is so that people not in the know may avoid such sellers and turn more to the forum here to trade with established well regarded engine builders too many to list that could never stoop to the level I've described here.
Thanks for your time.

It's actually a worthy thing that you are willing to part with one of your Macs,  but it's impossible to pass on an opportunity to discuss  "THE STORE".

[David Luciani]

low hours would be one of my personal motors something i don't do.
i'll assume you want a freshened motor that i can definitely do.
in fact i think chris s. just did one for me i forget the model that someone was supposed to buy. if it didn't sell it'll be your first choiice.
send me a pm we can exchange contACT INFO AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S AVAILBLE.
dang caps lock
anyway if the one is gone i'll pick a nice one and do a light rebuild new rings seals gaskets or what ever you need.
send pm
