Great video, looking at one now. Asking 250, thanks for the heads up on lower end.

It's strange how it sounds "OK" while running, but has a definite clunk while rotating by hand. I'm wondering if perhaps something is wrong with the gearcase making it clunk like that. Probably the powerhead, but possibly the gearcase. Oh yeah, forgot that the upper bearing seems to be sloppy as well. Wonder if this thing spent some time under water, and internals got rusted... The "throttle cracking screw" may have been in too far causing that roller to be so far off the cam as well. And yeah, watch out for those damn plastic cams with the little set screw to adjust WOT, they will bust like that everytime when you try to advance them. In this case, that cam is not available separately, you would have to replace the whole retainer/cam assembly, which is quite expensive. Such a shame, would love to know exactly what happened to this thing. Oh well, plenty of good parts to donate to other engines. I'm a two stroke guy for sure, worked on these engines "back in the day", when they were brand new. Don't listen to silly criticisms like that, always check everything simple you can check...

Not completely sure about this one. Definitely wasn’t right and as much I feel like I should have pulled it apart to investigate these models (4,5,6,7.5 and 8 hp) are getting hard to find parts as you said. I ended up selling it to a guy and told him what I had found. It was listed for sale the next morning for $600. At least I can sleep at night. Thanks for watching.
