[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 448343, member: 19781"] My advice is a little contrary to what most people recommend. But I can't tell you how many motors I've bought and took apart down to the bones and discovered that everything was in perfect running order before I started. Carb perfectly clean... etc My usual approach now is to look it over and see if there is anything obviously wrong... check for spark.... and if It looks like it will run, put it in a barrel and fire it up.... You'll be surprised how often that works... You can always go back and do a tune up and further inspections... but the urge to do it all first has left me.... Those old motors were made to last... and are very low tech.... not that much can be "wrong".... [/QUOTE]
