Yamaha XS400 streetbike motor. Twin cylinder air-cooled. Kickstart. Manual trans shifts through all the gears. Would make a cool hybrid motor if your's is blown or something. Like for a blaster/warrior.

Feels like it has good compression, but won't start because it isnt getting spark. May be an easy fix.

Also comes with carbs. Carbs are pretty well gummed up and tarnished. May or may not clean up with some carb soak.

Make a reasonable offer. Would prefer local pickup, and will help meet half way if needed. We can put it on a pallet and ship it, but will be pretty costly.

Ill try to snap a pic tomorow. Engine is still in bike, so have to take it out soon. We have the whole bike here.

I don't want a fortune for it. Maybe $100 for the engine with carbs? I'll also throw in the exhaust thats on the bike for free if you want it.

got some pics, ill send em to ya tonight.

Forgot to mention, bike only had 13,000 miles on it. The guy we got the bike from said it stopped getting spark because of the points. So, it would probably need new points. Feels like it has good compression.

We have pretty much the whole thing here, and if you wanted the whole bike to scravage stuff off of, $150 and you can take the whole thing. Or maybe like $100 for just the engine.

after i send the pics tonight, let me know
