I am looking at this motor tonight and I was wondering what a reasonable price to pay for it would be provided that it is in good condition? Also, are there any inherent problems with the 8 HP models that I should be aware of? Thanks.

In my area if it looks fresh,paint&all it would fetch 500-$700.That`s assuming good compression& reasonable hours.Just a guess.

Bad vibes when I went to look at it. Cosmetically it was not in good condition. Then when it ran, it smoked excessively. There was some rust spots on flywheel and a white residue on certain parts of shaft. I live in Wisconsin. I thought it might be salt, but the guy insisted that it was only used it freshwater. He was asking $650 initially, then $600. I did not buy it. Water was coming out of the water pump opening and from the exhaust port. Is this normal? My 6 hp Rude has the water coming out of exahaust port as it does not have a separate opening. For future reference, is this how it should function?
