Re: Eska 7hp

[retiredoz]

I’d say if it has spark, go ahead and clean out the fuel system if necessary, and run it until it stops sparking. The ignition parts are expensive, in most people’s opinion not worth replacing. If I were going to run it in a river, I’d be motoring upstream. Those were not renowned for reliability.

Plus side : Decent power-to-weight ratio (even if the 7-hp rating is optimistic), fairly simple to service.
