[QUOTE="clamman, post: 240245, member: 7617"] [size=5][b]Turbotodd [/b][/size] - it IS a 3 cyl, but NOT autolube...it is premix. Also, I had similar feelings about the Johnson as you expressed. My fear with the Yamaja is the sitting for 4 years (even though it was stored inside), I still have fear about the impeller blades getting brittle and breaking off when under a load. The man has been honest and said that he never replaced it since he bought it. The seller is an engineer, and maintains everything he owns with meticulous care, so I can only assume he did the same with the motor. However , the only way I would feel safe would be to replace/repair the impeller and water pump...Got an estimate of about $350- OUCH! add that in , and it becomes $1350....a tough piece of meat to chew on & swallow [/QUOTE]
