[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 507238, member: 21552"] I understand the OP's reason for making this purchase and I genuinely hope this little engine gives him a dozen years or more of reliable service. You work with what you have and so it goes. I found out a hard lesson as a kid buying a Sears 7.5, lucky for me the 1 yr guarantee got me my investment back and I bought a Johnson the following year.. My intention is not to bash anyone, but more of a buyer beware type of post. Videos are readily available for this brand of engine, and I recommend anyone considering this brand go in with an open mind and eyes. The old expression, "You get what you pay for" comes to mind. It seems while you can get the "real" parts for this engine, attaching them to a base that is sub par won't make this a keeper IMO. Peace. [MEDIA=youtube]8nAMn1O7P9A[/MEDIA] In an effort to be fair, this is a more positive review, but there is a substantial amount of corrosion still. [MEDIA=youtube]CmP-nxLSmTI[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
