    I guess it depends on the condition of the CD, and how much you paid for it. If you paid too much, the engine isn’t in decent shape, and you are not really interested in it, then it’s a problem.
    On the other hand, I have surely paid too much for engines, but I really wanted them, just didn’t take the time to inspect them thoroughly. So, don’t be too hard on yourself.

    It’s not a showpiece but it looked pretty good for $60. The red plastic idle adjustment is missing but otherwise it looked to all be there. No obvious bad treatment but it has been used enough to get dirty. Things that were supposed to move moved and the things that were supposed be bolted down didn’t rattle around so I figured it was worth the money. I have probably had 20 of the 5.5-6hp motors and only had one I couldn’t get running. It had been under water so I used it for parts.
