[QUOTE="cwphoto, post: 364522, member: 14437"] Thanks Michael. Never in saltwater, and stored in a heated garage. I had the cover off, and everything looks brand-new. I agree with you that sometimes when things sit without use it can do more damage. I'm sure there was residual gas in the lines, and in the carburetor, which over time can gum up. I've certainly seen this in lawnmower engines and so forth. This is however a two-stroke, so it has the advantage of oil in the gas to combat corrosion. I kind of set my sights on a four stroke, but was just curious as to the value of this old engine. Thx, Troy [/QUOTE]
