[QUOTE="ppine, post: 455453, member: 22555"] I had an old black and silver Mercury engine that was 6 hp but 2 cylinders. It was made in the 1960s in Wisconsin. It was a one pull motor that you could put a full glass of champagne on, and it would just sit there. I took it a mechanic and he tried to buy it from me. I sold it for $300 a long time ago. I wish I still had it. Go look at some used motors. Find one that starts on the first pull that has been taken care of. The newer 4 strokes are pretty great. I like Yamaha and Honda. I just bought an 8 hp Honda for a kicker motor and plan on taking it out tomorrow and running it wide open for awhile with some additives in the fuel. [/QUOTE]
