After buying an outboard on Kijiji, I got real discouraged when it ran very poorly when I got it home (why it didn't get tested at seller is a long story). By poorly, I mean it didn't run at all. I posted here...got lots of great advice...but when nothing was working I was in over my head. Well what do you know Freshtrax sent me a pm and offered to come over and get it running for me! Well that motor was pretty stubborn, but he did manage to get it going after a bit of sweat and contemplation. Now she is purring like a kitten. Starts on first pull and my wife isn't giving me the gears for dropping $$$ on a piece o crapola engine. Thanks Freshtrax, you really know your stuff!
