Just bought this motor off of E-Bay. Seemed like a bargain at $400.00, but now I am wondering.... ISSUES: 1) The cowling is one piece--to get to spark plug, etc., you have to undo numerous bolts. 2) The gear oil holes are "sealed" shut with paint--there is no way to unscrew anything to change the gear oil (weird)! 3) How do I flush/clean the motor--just run it in a water barrel--also, the cowling has several air vents that will allow any and all water (either from the Bay or my garden hose) to enter the engine and its parts--that is not good is it??? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! I think I should have gone with a more expensive but reputable brand...this Chinese made thing is junk I'm afraid.
