  • Engine wanted for scrambler (36MX)

    Anyone have an engine for sale for my scrambler. Bike is a 36MX but reckon 360cc engines are rare. So does anyone know of a Villiers 250cc twin for sale that should do the job. I'm looking for a complete engine/box.

    An MX2,MX3,MX4 and MX5 250 motor would be a better option than a Villiers twin. Not only would the Villiers twin be a bitch to install, it would be so under powered for off road use...and the gearing would not be suited as well.

    I have a MX3 250 motor in my 36MX frame and I'm delighted with it.

        Hiya Kenny,

        Now that looks nice! Any chance of a few more pics please mate?

        Bertie, you don't say if you are a GRA member or not in your profile, but joining the club has got to be one of the best ways of tracking down an engine/spares/advice....

        Happy hunting!

        Brian.

          Hi Brian,

          Nice to see you back on the forum. Here you go...I built this MX4 about 15-16 years ago. Found a photo of a Works MX4 with the long stoke motor and thought it was cool, so I replaced the 360 with this 250 motor . It really handles well and has a nice spread of power.

          Cheers!

            Nice Bike!

            Hi Kenny,

            That looks very nice indeed mate, thanks for posting the pic!

            Bet it's great to ride too.

            Yeah, I'm enjoying a week off work at the moment so I've had a bit of time to scan and post some new stuff on here today (as you may have noticed....)

            Why is it that every time I go to type something on a keyboard, my fingers immediately start thinking they're playing the riff from 'Eruption'....?!

            Still, at least it keeps my callouses in good nick!

                Hi Kenny,

                That's a nice looking bike! I might fit my long-stroke 250 engine when I blow up the 380 engine in my MX4! The 360/380 looks such a heavy great lump.

                Did you have that exhaust header pipe made specially, or is it available somewhere??

                Cheers,
                Andrew

                  Thanks Andy!!

                  The pipe was made by Kevin Felle at Circle F out of the state of Texas. He manufactures the cones and silencers for the 360, but I requested the single exhaust front cone. I had the header pipe made up as the same bend of a 360, only a larger diameter. We had to fabricate the mounting bracket ourselves. I modified the footrest so it folds up like a Griffon, but it is not spring loaded.

                  Here is another pic of the pipe.

                  Cheers!

                    Kenny,

                    Looks even better from that side!! I already have the expansion chamber from Kevin, so I'll get in contact with him for one of those headers.

                    Many thanks,
                    Andrew
