The guy I bought this off of won it in a raffle and only ran in 5 or 6 hours total since 1972. It is in almost new condition. It was 27* but she ran great.

  • My little 4hp was doing the same thing, smoking like that. It was definitely caused by too much oil to gas ratio. I believe I had it accidentally at a 16:1 ratio and I am pretty sure these should be at about 50:1.

  • yea they use 50:1 I think the fuel I used was 24:1 and it was cold out.

  • i do have the 71 model you need to fix your mixture it seems to be running rough

  • Its all tuned up now. That was the fist time that motor was started in more than 25 years. I checked the gear oil put it in a can and started it . I was suprised it ran at all . It runs like new now.

  • I wish they would have left the throttle control on the front like the old 3 hp motors.

  • I agree.

  • 27*! Now thats dedication. That's one to be proud of. Looks, and runs great.

  • I just got the same exact motor and cant get her started.

  • I love this motors i,ve got the same from 1967 but then a 3hp runs nice but i hate the start system!! they would,ve been thinking better if they built it just on the top of the flywheel i mean rubber to metal? c,mon!!

  • all good, looks like a great reliable motor
