you can pull the engine out of it a happy weekend spent pottering. You own a smartphone to take photos to avoid the inevitable "What the fuck's that for and where did it come from?" moments, spend $50 at Bunnings or wherever for some storage, carefully label and store bits.
Now you have an engine on a bench. If you just take that into someone it is easier because it fits in the back of your wagon. If you decide to pull it to bits (and hey, what have you got to lose? its fucked anyways) then crack on. Another $50 for storage containers and a marker pen, take some more photos and buy or download a manual.
Bada boom, bada bing. Then you can get Mr Grumph to look at it and tell you its not worth persevering.
Then put it on tardme with the classic "It was running when stored, my commitments mean I can't finish this project" or "Going overseas" or "great basis for cafe racer/bratstyle/tracker build" type ad, ask $300 less than a good running one and watch the punters roll in.
