I have a Mac 10.
It is a screaming demon. Starts first pull. High pitched whine but not much louder than an old Evinrude/Johnson. Burns a lot of gas. Hard to get the speed adjusted right. The throtle control is a little jumpy. Ratio of response to twist is too high. Heavier than an OMC of comparable horsepower. Gearcase is exactly like OMC except that it is metric. Bearings can be replaced at McMasters. Carb is easy to clean and adjust. You can start test it in the shop because it is air cooled. Uses 50:1 mixture, but dont use TWC-3. Use chainsaw oil. I lucked out on the ignition. Did not need to touch that. Fun toy ,if you can get it cheap.Got mine for $25.00
