Picked up this motor on Craigslist for $125. He said he inherited it, doesn't know if it ran. He said he took it to a guy who tried to fix it. Looked like fresh thread lock on the core plug of the carburetor. Choke handle busted off and one face plate with broken clips. Looks like is sat with the lower end in the chain for at least a season with all the crud built up. He did throw in a vintage metal gas can, but no hose. I fired it up and It ran, but would not idle without the choke on, and then only very rough. Also, did not pump water very well, poured out from under the cowl. Looking forward to the rebuild.
