Super 8 150 / Re: New super 8 150 motors

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post.
2wheelfun, I bought the bike used from my neighbor because I knew she kept the bike in excellent shape, did all maintenance and kept good records. It had 12,000 miles on it. I rode it 50 miles and it just lost all power while driving, and never started again. Wouldn't even turn with kickstarted. My husband took it apart, and we planned on fixing whatever MINOR thing that could have gone wrong, but we were shocked when we discovered that the piston rod broke, valves are both bent and piston jammed at top of the cylinder. The only thing in good shape is the crankshaft. Ugh! We think we may take your advice and buy the motor listed in the above post. Any other info is welcomed. Thanks again.
