I really think that motor may be brand new, never used, the scratches he talking about are nearly invisible and only show at an angle, they're more swirl marks than scratches. I had a tank with me and I filled a recycle bin with ware, the thing fired up on the first pull.. I tried to get his price down but he's stuck on $500. I don't need it that bad. New or not, its $500 I don't need to spend and if it won't sell for him, it won't sell for me. He said he's been listing it for three years and said i was only the third person to show up to see it and so far no one has had cash, all he's gotten has been $100 offers and offers of junk trades for blown up motors, video games, and bicycles. I thanked him and left it there. I did pull the fuel line off and run it out of gas, with the thought that if he changes his mind and wants to sell it for $250, it won't need a carb job two years from now or more when he realizes no one has any money these days. For $250, I'd keep it and just put it back in its box and save it as a spare but I've got 300 spares already.</blockquote>
