Motor is shot and I have taken it apart.The rod came off the crank and broke in half. Honda G100 2.2 hp engine with two speed forward and one reverse.
Is this thing worth some $? Or should I just fix it and keep it around for my 110 pound fiance to drive around in.(I'm afraid I'll break it....)

What say you fellas? This is my first mercedes, although I am due to take delivery soon on a $300 1984 560 sec that needs a lot of love. Always been a german car person though, currently have an 81 Scirocco, a 92 bmw 750il, a 01 golf tdi, and a 944 with a ford 302 in it. The sickness runs deep here...

I gotta admit, that's kind of cool! First I've seen of one that's for sure.

That thing is a riot! Welcome to the forum, btw.

Love it ! If you decide to sell, let me know ! Grandkids!

Try a new cap and rotor and change the subframe bushings.













welcome to the forum.

Don't forget to check the K40 fuses, that may be related to the rod problem.




I love how the steering wheel looks like a Mercedes wheel.

 

[dugald]

Nifty.
How big is it? I can't spot a reference for scale in the pics.

 

[Check Codes]

Heck, it's worthless. Really. I'll take it off your hands for $20.


Seriously, it's very cool. I'd just buy another engine for it (doesn't need to be Honda, any horizontal-shaft engine can be adapted without much effort, a nice 5-HP would be even nicer!) and enjoy it. If you don't like the go-kart concept, the body with an insert would be an amazing coffee table.

Sweet! I've seen one of those before.
Honda motors are generally easy to repair.
I suggest keeping it to park next to the 560, especially if you have some kids in the fam!
My 2 young boys would be fiting to see who drives!

 

[strife2]

If non-originality is ok , plenty of cheap HF motors that would probably drop in. I have a lawnmower with a Chinese OHV engine that I believe to be a Honda knock-off, and except for a carb replacement due to MY poor maintenance, it's been great for years.

It looks like a great toy, and probably worth restoring and selling if you don't want to keep it.
