[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 286588, member: 3278"] Don't have my magnifying glass to see that picture......! The engine is well worth it if you know vintage engines. Depending on how long it has been sitting up it wil need the following parts. New fuel line and O-rings for the female connector. Tighten the cover screws on the tank slightly......may need a diaphram kit at some point. Carb kit to convert the float and gaskets over to the newest style. Buy OEM only as that is about the only kit that is complete. Ignition coils...........depending on when or if they have ever been replaced and if they are showing any cracking. Water pump impeller or kit This is a must do. Possibly a new hub in the propeller due to age. This enigne has to be run on no less than a 24:1 fuel oil mixture........[b]NOT[/b] 50:1 !! Do no listen to Bubba or Billy Bob the local mechanical whizzes. The mixing instructions will probably be inside the cowling. The engines of that vintage were built like tanks as far as longevity goes and you should be able to hand it down to your grandkids if you take good care of it. Has plenty of power and extremely good running characteristics. [/QUOTE]
