Ran across one of these motors for sale. Never heard of it. Researched it and realized it had a short lived manufacturing history. According to owner, last ran in 2000. Appears the flywheel has been removed and replaced as flywheel bolt is partially unthreaded. It isn't locked up though and appears complete. Is there any resale value for the parts to this motor? Think I can get it for next to nothing. Thought it would break it down and sale for parts, but don't know if there is any demand. Anyone?

The only one it's going to have any value to is someone that needs some parts. Could be sitting on it for a long time or it could sell quickly. Gamble at best IMO. I wouldn't.
