How well do these engines hold up?

How often would the clutch wear out, and does that little piece of rubber hold that sprocket on the wheel.I need something to last.

Looks like a typical Happy Time, like mine. Each of these motors seems to have its own karma. If you can get that kit for less than $150, delivered, it seems like a decent deal to me. Its got the new throttle and new-style clutch lever.

You pay your nickel and take your ride.

Edit: Its almost certainly not 80cc.
Edit: Its a Powerking motor, use the search feature for PowerKing, some likes 'em, some don't.

I also tend to think you kinda get what you pay for in most cases
