I have a few questions to ask?<br /><br />1. I am thinking of buying this motor, but am concerned about the oil and gas mixing. It at one time had a seperate container for oil. Now the owner is mixing in the Gas Tank and has by-passed the seperate container for mixing oil/fuel. Is this good/bad or just don't consider buying.<br /><br />2. Is there anything particular that I should look for or ask about this engine and does anyone know if it maybe a lemon.<br /><br />Thanks

The reason to bypass the pump, would be the question to ask the seller.<br /> I removed the VRO pump from my 1997 115hp, because I wanted to mix 50:1 for my own piece of mind.<br /> Get a little history on the engine before you run away...VRO pumps being disconnected is not uncommon....... :)

120/125/130/140 90degree loop V motors are fairy easy to work on.<br />they run good when tuned properly, as any motor should.

tx - I would bet that most of us do not mix fuel & oil seperately before putting it into the tank. I dump a gal of oil in the tank, add 50 gal of fuel & go.
