4850 Brand new motor including install ? thats pretty good if u ask me.

You can get a rebuild for about a bit more than 1/2 price. but u need to install it, thats probably gonna cost you another couple hundred bux.

Paul at Mazmart.

This motor swap would be easy, just buy a reman from Paul.

$4850? Holy sh*t! I forked over almost $8000.

Did you have all the service done through the dealer? Did you try the zoom-engine de-carbon?

Most oil leaks are from the oil injection area and repairable.

okay i found the oil leak coming from the oil , i forgot what it is called lol, the thing under the battery that injects the oil into the engine... i am going to do a mod for it next week anyway, having a seperate container for apex oil and using the oil pan for lubing the bearings. I found this mod on a different website... i am going to use 2-stroke oil for the apex seals...
