    Hi, I found a 250cc engine (169fmm) on taobao for just under £200 and it comes with the CDI and everything! The only problem is it weighs over 30kg which apparently costs over £300 to ship to the UK so I was wondering if there are any cheaper ways to have it delivered? For £300 I might as well go to China and pick it up my self.

    You sure you can't find that engine somewhere in Bulgaria?

    Have you tried Taobao Focus?

    Good Luck!

    Hmmm thats a bit better, the cheapest was just under £250 according to their pricing system, maybe large packages are even cheaper. I still don't think it's worth it though, I've seen cheaper 250cc engines sold in the UK reciently but thanks for your help anyway guys.
