Thanks mate, some sound, succinct advicei would say long block oneil brothers racing for cheap power. for ~$300 you can get a 8hp longblock, you just transfer your current engine parts over to it (coil, clutch, carb, etc). if you did that you'll probably want a new carb and pipe. or you can spend more money on their site for more power. you can email them asking for advice.
i usually buy good or aluminum replacement parts as the original ones break.
you should download the manual for both the baja 5b and the 23cc motor it comes with. that will tell you all the torque specs, procedures, etc. never forget these are like near 100% compatible with the 5b.
no one really buys used. maybe try facebook groups? probably won't get scammed, prob spend more money for a probably good motor. 1k plus for a motor you're not sure about?
Much appreciated...
