Re: 135 Johnson...electric shift???
just wondering why you might say that, Joe. Compression is claimed as all around 100.. I would certainly check that before buying. If that is all good I am willing to buy it and get it going as long as it is not electric or electric/ hydraulic shift. Anything else I should be wary of?
My friend, in my 30 years+ experience I've encountered that scenario quite a few times, not personally but with my customers. A customer buys a engine and soon he needs my services. The seller is very difficult to locate, but the customer finally managed to buy the engine anyway, then shortly thereafter expensive problems popped up and the seller made it a point to be as difficult to contact as possible... and would offer no help when finally contacted.
Perhaps he's on the up and up and just busy which is a different case, but of course you'll need to be the judge of that. I can only wish you luck.
Keep in mind that you're speaking of an engine that's 40 years old. What is his lowest selling price?
