Bill.... I understand completely!....GO FOR IT!....The "new" engine doesn't look too bad externally, you should be able to get one out of the two......

Steve (and any one else who might be interested), here is a photo of a prime Jawa 250 and is what mine looked like at one time.66Sprint said:Bill, Could have been a pic of a similar bike...It was red I believe.... Might have been on the old .com site...... Good luck with your dad, that's a hard call sometimes...... Steve
Definitely appreciate that Kirk. Can't wait to get that engine and get the bike to wherekirkn said:Well, using my super-exact methodology, I get:
315 lbs - Me with motor, on scale
- 230 lbs - me alone on scale
85 lbs - motor
So, there you have it. 85 lbs from my zip code (32766) to yours. That'll give you the 'worst case' scenario, anyway.

I still have all the hair, but the teeth are gone.
Though I'd gladly trade the hair for real teeth.......
Bald guys may not understand that, but trust me on this one, teeth are good.
Just an Update:bill440cars said:Well, Kirk (kirkn) has picked up the engine for me (he only lives 25 miles from the seller) and now we're looking to see what the easiest way to get it to Arkansas will be. I've got a buddy over on the SOHC4 who said that if someone could get it to him in Birmingham Alabama, he's bring it to Memphis and meet me there. I might add that that engine is pretty heavy even though it's a 250cc 2-stroke single cylinder! Might be the start of another way to help each other out, if our members (and the SOHC4's members) are spread out decently enough. What do ya think? Kirk is ready to do whatever and, in the end, I may just have to bite the bullet and ship it. I just thought that if something could be worked out to sort of "shuttle" it to Arkansas, I could meet someone to get it and we might just have a sort of service that could benefit others at any given time. I wouls be willing to help others myself. Comments?
