I think youve answred your own question, i supose it depends how desparate you are, a 1275 can do anything from 100 to 600 some buy bits, i would rather buy a complete motor without ancillaries then everything in that motor eg, rods crank casings are from that rather than gathering loads of separate bits. duno if that helps rick |

The problem you have ther is that knowing the engines as some of us do if you buy a complete motor whats to say the crank is any good and by that I mean the tapper. Can be a mine field as I have recently found out. :( Own the day

The last engine I bought was a very late carb engine. It didn't have the carb with it but had most of the other bits still attached, that was £115. I have a spare 1275 which I don't need at the moment but I'm keeping it as the prices seem to be getting a bit silly in the last year or two. |

I just seen one go on ebay last week for £250!! it was a 4 door mayfair so nothing jazzy about it. I gave Nick £150 for a 1275 he had going, I swear I was done, was rough as arseholes.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
