Can someone school me on the West bend engines? I have an opportunity to buy a Power Bee 580 engine by US Marine. What was the engine mounted to originally? I'm also want to find out the date of this engine, I took down the serial number, it is 21779 - Model 58037. My plan for this engine would be to restore it into a West Bend go-kart engine with all the odds and ends, is that possible, what problems could I run into?
Is this a desireable engine, the guy threw out a price of $200 - its unrestored with good compression and complete? I want to offer a fair price but at the same time can't afford to overpay and could wait until another comes along for cheaper.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
