[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 496241, member: 21552"] Talking with an old friend, he's getting old, too old to do any small boating, he's got 2 older 2S 7.5 HP outboards, one from the mid 70's (Honda) the other I never got the brand but it is certainly from the 60's. These engines have not run for close to 20 years now, however they did when stored. He's talking about giving them away and I'm getting the hint he wants me to say I'll take them. Do I need them, no, would I like them to toy with, yes. My question here is, if I take one or both, get it running again (I'm sure he'd give it to me running), do I use them like I would a new engine (WOT much of the time) or do I use them as a Sunday tour type of putt putt around the canals? I'd hate to break one/both and have his gift go down the drain due to lack of parts. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
