That was always a good strong running engine for me after I figured out how to work on loopers. The small bore engine is a little low on torque down low, but once it gets a few RPM's up it is a beast. If you get it propped right it is really good on fuel to. I found propping it to spin up to 5800 RPM's or so WOT is where it was happiest. If you load it much harder it drank alot more fuel, and much less and it guzzled at cruise. Get it in it's sweet spot and it would burn about 6 GPH at a 3800 RPM cruise. Get it off and it would suck down 9-10 at the same RPM's.
