[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 218600, member: 3278"] Not necessarily! Due dilligence on whatever engine you are considering of course but there are alot of engines out there that have had good care taken of them and not alot of hours. I deal in this market every day and only accept and purchase known good engines and there are plenty out there. I always figure on normal service parts such as water pump, ignition servicing, carb and fuel pump servicing, etc. just so I can resell the engine(s) with confidence vs. a typical "ran when it was put in storage" Craigslist engine. Those parts typically are do it yourself for a decent tinkerer of mechanic and the costs are well inline with almost anyone's budget. [/QUOTE]
