Found some old posts that show the motor and give all of the details...

As you can see, I originally wanted alot more than $1200!! But at this point, I'll take a win-win if I can help MJ out PLUS get this thing outta my yard!
MJ, the negative points I see about this motor are:
1) That shift rod issue. I don't think this one has been replaced and as you can see, there's a fair amount of rust in that vicinity.
2) The weak turnover at startup. When you hit the key there's a 1 or 2 second hesitation, then starts to spin as normal. Most likely just the starter ???
3) Sitting 10 months under a tarp.
What about UPS'ing your head to Skools and let him fix that piston? There's a thought. Either way, we are here to help a brother out! I was looking forward to seeing those fluke pics again this year :'(
If you want to talk by phone, PM me and I'll give you my #. Or, PM me your number and I'll call you from my work phone and it won't cost us anything! (I'm a cheap bastard :D).
