From reading your post I assume you just added gas and never mixed in oil. I'm just curious how long did it run before it died? Good luck with your search for a new motor.

great deal whatknot, but im a little short at this point but i will keep you in mind deffinetly and maybe if youve still got it in a month and a half or so... As far as how long it ran with no oil, i caught it in time that it didnt stop running, it will fire right up right now (it just ticks). Since we never went anywhere except for the ICW, She was never "put through her paces" so to speak in the minimum wake zone and as bad as i wanted to test that ole 200 i never got the chance. The mechanic said it might run for another year or it might run for another 5 minutes. Thats not what i would call reliable enough to take the wife, kids and new grandson out on. The good news is the repower fund has grown to almost $2000. Get this, i even cut back on the beer to be able to put more money in the barrel, tell me thats not dedication...lol
