I've picked these engines up myself after removing carb and starter/generator and muffler. It's a handful. After a couple of these lifts, I rigged a come-along from a ceiling truss for the next few I pulled. Much prefer the come-along or chain hoist. They only weigh about 100 lbs or so, so just about any rafter/joist,truss, etc, can handle the load. The best way would be to lower it onto a roll-around cart to work on it, but I don't have that yet, so some man-handling is still required.
