Honda scooter

Help me find a used replacement engine for my Honda scooter.
I have a dead engine in my 2003 Honda Elite 80 scooter.
I was told by the dealer that it may cost over $1000 for a rebuild, and that it may be cheaper to swap in a used engine.
The whole scooter cost $2400, so I'd like to try the second option, and come across a salvaged engine.
I live in the Chicago area, and have called every motorcycle junkyard to see if they had any engines. They do not.
The engine I need would be an 80cc from any Honda Elite from 2001 thru 2005.
Can you help me?

Ask the fine folks on rec.motorcycles. They'll have pointers for sure, and there's usually a good chance of "oh, yeah, got one in the shed" there.

look here
there's a couple of different forums that might be helpful. one that's just scooter stuff for sale and another thats dedicated to talking about new scooters (as opposed to vintage lambrettas and vespas). someone will be able to help you.
