[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 152688, member: 3278"] The engine looks like either 1980-1981 vintage....somewhere around there. Use that information to make sure you are in the ballpark moneywise. The 2-cylinder 35 is an easy one to discern whether or not it has been overheated, That white color on the block turns brownish yellow with excessive heat. Second, look at the coil mount area and see if the coils have melted onto the cylinder head. I wouldn't consider an engine that has been this seriously overheated, there are too many of these around to choose from. If all looks good then proceed with your normal checks which would include a spark check (1/4" minimum air gap at cranking speed), lower unit oil, compression, and water in the carburetor, etc. [/QUOTE]
