I have a general rule of thumb, if I cannot hear the engine running I'm not paying more than $300 for it.
BOTH OHC engines I bought were "runners", both had trashed cam's, but probably did run. The 250 appeared to have even recently been rebuilt even, though there were some goofy things about the rebuild. My guess is both probably backfired a bit from the cam wear.
