[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 338649, member: 5461"] An early 80's 6HP Evinrude is a darn good motor. When evaluating it, take along a compression tester and a spark tester. You can do the tests in five minutes and it will tell you a LOT about the motor. And make sure he starts it up and runs it for you. As long as it has good compression, good spark, and starts/run without any clear issues .... buy it! I think you are saying he wants $450 for the motor. That's actually a decent price, but of course, offer way less and see what happens. Here is a good video on how to test for spark and compression. [youtube]eSmNMWTDtZE[/youtube] [/QUOTE]
