I like my old carbed Yamahas and have found them to be reliable. Except for the corrosion issues they are solid motors as far as I can tell. That said I have run into many people who feel the exact opposite and in almost all cases their opinion was caused by having a bad mechanic try to fix a simple problem by throwing parts at it. I have bought two different motors for cheap money because the owners could not get them to run right even after having spent hundreds of dollars on "professional" repairs. I got both running for less than $200. Ferm and Spare and some other guys on this site seem to be able to diagnose these things in their sleep but for everyone of them there seems to be a dozen so called pros that I wouldn't trust to even change my spark plugs.
