Default Re: New Toy! Couple Questions.........

I have the same exact engine, I really really hate to be a deby downer but I would hate to see you go through the same thing i go through with mine. sell it man and get a yami, merc, honda....anything but that. its an amazing little engine when its running, but your problems are gonna start WHEN it starts breaking down. its realitivley easy to fix but since they dont make force anymore, IF you can find parts for it, they are insanley expensive. I just recently bought an impeller for it after countless hours of searching for $90... just as a comparison, that is a 10 dollar part for my 8 hp yami. I know getting a new engine is exciting and what not and you dont want to hear it, but sell it and get something else, you will do yourself a huge favor.

If you don't end up selling it and start having problems with it, just ask me. I know that engine like the back of my hand. Good luck!
