[QUOTE="Andrew04, post: 287407, member: 8098"] Ask him to start it, if it does, it's well worth the money. Starting ensures carb, ignition, and compression are okay. My own personal rule is to replace impeller and gear lube on any used motor, just for safety, then carb, plugs and coils as needed. In a perfect world you'de have a compression tester, my guess would be 60 PSI for this motor. If compression tests OK, buy it and figure out what it needs to run. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
