[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 298526, member: 3278"] The small bore 85hp engines were absolutely bulletproof engines. If yours has compression and spark and a good gearcase and it has had relatively good care taken of it I would run it from now on. Great bottom end power, good idle characteristics and power up to around 4500-5000rpm were the typical characteristics of it. They were about the only engines that couldn't be killed by the test drivers at the OMC test station, in Stuart, Florida. Those engines were run WOT on test boats for 500 hours, disassembled, measured for wear and reassembled and run again until replaced. [/QUOTE]
