[QUOTE="Newtosa, post: 469578, member: 23589"] He he he. I wish just one word of what you said was true. When I bought it, it was a pile of parts. History unknown, and the prior owner lied about a few things, so I've just approached this one with a bias that I need to verify everything. First part I bought was a replacement crank shaft, and this is my first "rebuild everything" project. I've gotten the manuals, done a lot of reading, obsessed about when to use omc sealer 1000 vs 3m 847 vs permatex aviation vs nothing, and many other decisions. So far this was the first day I've attempted to get it started. I got it to start 20 or 30 times, but I haven't been able to keep it running longer than a minute. The first 6 or 8 times it coughed and sputtered and tried to jump off the stand and into the barrel, and as it got warmer it settled down a little but still has some pretty rough coughing fits. All my other engines have been (mostly) running when I bought them, so this one is teaching me a lot more. [/QUOTE]
