[QUOTE="Mudbugger, post: 496274, member: 26013"] If you do get them, do the basic maintenance, lower end oil change, maybe a prop seal, water pump impeller and tune up. Most likely a fuel system clean up, etc. Then run them rather gently, thru all RPM ranges, sort of like breaking in a new engine, but bot for as long Once you're satisfied that all is well, as the stickers say: "Run them like you stole them!" They like to run rather hard, slow babying, cokes and carbons up the system. I personally enjoy the satisfaction (and occasional annoyance and inconvenience) of using old technology, but then again I AM old technology, myself! [/QUOTE]
