[QUOTE="Firescooby, post: 227928, member: 6965"] Ok, found an 18 hp Johnson outboard on Craigslist. Owner said he bought it, brought it home, checked compression (120 on both), pull rope broke, and now he's selling boat and all. He is willing to sell motor alone for $100, said it needs new pull rope and tiller handle repaired. I find it hard to believe he just happened to check compression before rope broke. Also, no idea what's wrong with tiller handle. For $100, is it worth the gamble? How hard is it to replace pull rope? Biggest issue, it's 250 miles away from me. [/QUOTE]
