Engine Help

[NoSnow]

I have a friend that will give me a 92 vmax 4 but i need an engine he blew it up. I desperately need help finding a motor, foung on ebay but got outbid. How much should I pay? If I found an 800 motor instead can I make it fit? I dont know the extent of damage to existing engine, so Im looking for complete engine. Help email me or post.

Here's a low mileage engine on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Snowmobile-113-Vmax-4-Ski-Skin_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem1c05fd00b5QQitemZ1 20359551157QQptZSnowmobileQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

It's doesn't have the carbs, coils, or cdi, but there are a lot of '92 parts on ebay right now and the parts to finish it are there.

If I were you I would invest a few bucks and find out whats wrong with the engine you have. You said it was given to you so you're no into it much money yet. He blew it up really doesnt describe the problem real well. You might just need a piston or a cylinder. Do you have a compression tester? Start there. For the price of another engine, shipping, and other incidentals you might be able to fix what you have and be more confident then just buying a random engine and hoping for the best. Just my couple cents worth anyways, you can take it for what its worth. Where are you anyways, location helps to know. People here are spread all over North America and a few in Europe too that can pint you in the right direction for parts and what not.

Crap. I was trying to post that link for someone else. I wondered where it went!

Here's a '94 engine, but it needs some work: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-Yamaha-Vmax-4-Engine-750_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem53df22d90fQQitemZ36 0225888527QQptZSnowmobileQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

The other one I saw is gone. Sorry.

I found complete motor, I bought it for 300 +shipping, it is worth that much and it sounds like crankcase is shot on old one so I will be posting more when I get it, thanks
