Anybody know what size motor this is? Sent them an email with the Engine serial number location hopefully they'll get back to me.

My guess is that it's a VBB motor, early '60s. A photo would help verify.

Def not 60s. It's a P motor. 1980 would be 125/150 or 200. It has oil injection and an electronic flywheel. I can't see the exhaust stub to see if it shoots straight down or at an angle - which if memory serves is a tell-tale sign if it's a 200 or not.

I'd ask the seller for more pics or to de-scrub the engine number and look it up that way.

P200. Cylinder cover and front motor bushings are a giveaway...

he also has a tractor light up for $10. Good deals both even if the engine is frozen. Get it Chris before someone else does.

I asked about cleaning it off, and getting a picture, well see if he does or not. If it's a 200 I want it, and am going to bid on it. No buy it now, so I'll see what happens.

Size...
It's definitely a 200. Exhaust stub confirms it...

Hang the tractor light on my Stella. I put in a bid on the motor, well see what happens.
