my buddy has this motor and i am thinking about buying it off him..he bought it new and put 15hrs on..i get everything tank maintenance kit and all that jazz. he told me $1000.. i was gonna buy a new 6hp but would rather go with a 2 cly. motor .. is this a fair price
i am in he process of re-rigging my boat..i have the motor hung and control cables hooked up and all seem to be fine but when i go from forward or reverse back to neutral i have to push the warm up lever back to the down position..just a touch maybe 1.5" or so..could this be cause my cables are...
