Is this motor worth buying?

damianz31 · May 23, 2015

Found this motor at a garage sale just looking around.
Seller said $70 with the gas can.
They said it works.

Is it worth it or to resell it?

Yell 'em you'll pay the full amount if you can see it run.

For that amount. I'd have rolled the dice and took it.
Note I don't no anything about crystler other then I had a 105 hp on an old tri hull ski boat. For a short time. It had set for umph teen years. I cleaned the carb and fuel tank and it cranked rite up. Needed an on ring on the fuel line that was it. Ran like a top.
No idea how hard they are to get parts for or anything.

Yes, good advice, in a tank, no muffs, so you know the water pump works by the pee stream. Then check the foot oil for water. And the tank water for oil!
Then it might be a good motor if you take it home and service everything.

Even lil' ugly motors need love and for that price I would have picked it up, put it back into service and let it share more adventures with you.

depends on if you need a 9.9 outboard. If you don't need it or aren't going to flip it, I'd say it's not worth it.

I'm not into Chrysler's, but an electric start 9.9 would be intriguing.

What's a gas can cost, 20 bucks? So $50 for the motor pretty much. I would have bought it in a heartbeat and then found low compression on both cylinders when I got it home :mrgreen:
