Why can't the seller drain oil & gas (if gas tank) throw in box and have UPS or Fedex pick it up? Small engines ship well and only cost $30-40 to ship.

Or at least the seller bring to a shipping place and they will box it up and ship.

As a last resort I'm in Southern NJ near Del Mem Bridge if they can bring it near the bridge I can pick up and ship to you.

I would say find another engine and a seller that is willing to ship. What is this engine and what is so special about it?

I live about 40 miles from there. My problem is, you request a "respected" member. I will assume I fit that category. You, however, are a new member, "12/22/2021".
You are asking a lot for your first set of posts. I don't mind driving there and taking some pics for you. BUT, anything over and above that, you will have to pay in advance.

To the OP: Let's see some good photos of these engines. I would think that your seller can at least provide that...

Come on you are even going to get on the person for their spelling! Some of this same type of crap came my way when first joined. I'm sure the admin would like some new "supporting" members but not going to happen if this is how they are welcomed. Make this a total private forum if that is the case.

I agree it's a very strange request and personally wouldn't buy the engines if the seller didn't want to bend a little. It's not that hard to put the engines into a box and have UPS, etc "pick-up" so I would be leery somethings not quite right.

Another option is "U-ship" and those type of shippers. You list location on their website and one of the shippers passing through that area picks and brings to you. I would say it wouldn't cost more than $100 for both engines delivered to your door?

As for a respected member mustangfrank fits that bill and said he may have seen those engines and aren't HS50's. I would trust that info coming from him and definitely make sure they are HS50's

Best of luck

its okay ill just block them, im typing in the dark and my grammar is not the best. ill admit that. but what a great group of ppl they really must have nothing better to do then rost some one about there grammar ... well even if they are the 3.5s ill take them but i think ill have to buy the whole kart its looking like but i can use the engines and the rims and CVT and sprockets for a twin engine rupp im building or might build if i can make this deal happen from them heres a pic of it ill post after i block these others really fast, and theres alot of ppl that dont want tpo be bothered with shipping the engines are curently on a kart so the guy im thinking dont feel like pulling them off and boxing them up and shipping them then hes left with just a kart. that he might not be able to sell but heckive offer him 80% of what hes selling the kart for just for the engines

the reason i want it is for the side tanks and the engines have had some work done internally ive restored sevral 3.5hp tekes and gotmore then hes asking for the whole kart even though ive put alot of work in to them these ones loot decent and haveastory behind them not just off a tiller or snow blower. not to mention ive got a rupp twin engine kart and this would be a good budget way to get her going depnding on the rims id take those to so maybe if i have to buy the whole kart if some one is intersted in the frame we can work something out it is said to be built buy a pro racer back in the 70s who one several champion ships
