    these are great engines but before you invest to much $$$ … do a compression test …something above 75-80  would be considered low but  I have seen worse and these little kickers  will make  great trollers.

    do pull the FW and check for cracked coils… all easy parts to swap condensers points coils  wires  it is all in the book below
