amazing barn find longshaft 8 hp

[dkonrai]

even tho im a omc guy, i just scored this amazing motor. i think its a 1986 buy the serial numbers.
motor doesnt look like it was ever installed or run. the filter housing is like new, the prop had no oil or gas on it and the carb still has its new look.

Treat it nicely as those are hard to find. Do you think it has ever been run ??

boobie,
as far as i can tell, it was never run. the prop had no oil or smell, plastic filter smells new (no fuel or petrol products). the upper exhaust snout had no oil, or gas or anything, it was still brand new (less some dirt) and after i wiped the grease off it paint is all nice and shiney. it truly is a time machine.
i just bought it because.... well.... i have this little problem
