Swap my c90 electric start engine for kick start only

Post by Gompho » Sun Aug 21, 2022 11:23 am

I picked this engine up from someone that had a c90 cub. They bought the engine planning to switch their cub to an electric start but never ended up doing and sold the bike. I saw the engine for sale and picked it up since I thought it would be a shame to see it put in a go kart or picked for pieces. The engine is whole and everything is there minus the sprocket cover. It's from around a 1995 C90M-P

I would really like to trade this for a non electric start 85c c90 12v engine that's original. The reason being is that my cub is a non electric start and although I know I can fit it in or maybe convert it, I'd still need to get different pegs and shifter and hand controls etc.

I'd like to be able to have the second engine that I can play around with and swap in and out of my cub easily.

I've not cracked this open yet and not had it running but I can say that it has compression, spins freely and changes gears. It's been filled with oil the whole time it's sitting and it looks like someone put new oil in it because it's still relatively clear

I live in Buckinghamshire so hopefully someone not too far away might be interested, otherwise I'm not not sure what I'll end up doing with it.

Bikerpaul wanted to do this swap the opposite way. He was having trouble kickstarting and wanted the electric foot.

You can try PMing him on here and if he doesn't answer in a few days PM me and I'll get in touch with him.

I figured I'd take a couple minutes and test if the engine works and thankfully it does. I dropped the motor out of my c90 and hooked it up and it started right away. I was able to cycle it thought the gears and they all work fine.

Unfortunately I can't ride it anywhere because I don't have the foot pegs or the gear shifter for an electric start motor.
