Gentlemen,

thanks for the comments. these engine are all freshwater motors and I think I will simply test them out and check them out with the IR gun

these motors are basically 50$? $60 CDN purchases to keep me busy in the winter .

I service the carbs, coils, plug wires points, impeller, gear oil etc… to get them out of their coma and sell them back out to recoup my costs with a money back warranty (till the purchaser is satisfied with is purchase …with the understanding that these are 50-60 year old motors !!!)

profit margin 0 % a couple came back for small things which I cleared up quickly (broken cord, rewind spring , cracked fuel cap on a square pump)

sold a 4, 5.5, 7.5 , qd, fd, 2x 9,5 ..all $150 CDN

Now I need to stop fixing them …for a while till I sell a couple of them ….. 2 x JW, 3×9.5 and a 5.5 Jubile …but I keep my eyes open 🙂
