I believe it. It's actually 223cc, and it's not the counter-balanced version. It is OHC, which has just just a little more power than the pushrod motor. I admit, I'm tempted.

I took a chance because my current hensim 250 has a hole in the piston

Weldangrind · 10-30-2013, 01:47 AM

You bought it?

Weldangrind · 10-30-2013, 01:56 AM

How many miles on your Hensim motor?

SpudRider · 10-30-2013, 03:32 AM

That is a very nice, Zongshen engine.

edtardo · 10-30-2013, 07:34 AM

I bought one too from someone in Cali. We'll see what happens lol

katoranger · 10-30-2013, 10:20 AM

That is a deal. Seller has no feedback, but I think I would chance it. The description was well done. Probably liquidating inventory. If you don't get it I think ebay will cover you.

fastrs2.5 · 10-30-2013, 01:31 PM

I bought one the seller had 2. Worst comes to worst I paid with paypal.

fastrs2.5 · 10-30-2013, 01:32 PM

The hensim engine had about 2000 miles
