i am in need of a engine with low miles
my bike with 155000 has #2 cylinder no or little compression
did a carb rebuild new slow jets a good cleaning
did the spark test nice and blue spark gas getting to the carbs
just won't fire on #2 could be still clogged not sure
so now where are the junk yards???
most of the auctions place want a couple hundred just to bid.
i know about pinwalls not sure if i want to spend that kind of money on just a engine
engines are the hardest to sell they never go bad or do they
any help locating a parts or salvege yard would be helfull

I guess the obvious question is; why can:t you just fix yours? |

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.

I find it hard to believe that at 155K that #2 cylinder is shot.
Did you check that the valves are properly adjusted?
If you find a salvage motor, can I have your current motor?

Pinwall's prices are probably about as good as you're going to find for salvage yards.
You may be fortunate enough to find an individual who'll turn over his extra motor for under $500, but that would be rare.

John Schmidt has one for sale. Your parts and his should make one good motor.

I would do a compresion test on #2 cyl if you put another engine in and transfer your carbs and such you could still have a dead #2 cyl

Probably only needs a valve job.It's very easy to pull the heads an check an replace or regrind the valves .If you regrind total cost would be less than$200.I did it to my valk.I lapped the valves had the heads surfaced and new head gaskets.Piece of cake.
