Hey thanks! PM sent. Any reason to stay away from this engine? Are Belguim Mercs common? Guy is asking $150, needs a little work, the tiller handle broke, so I will have to fix that and a couple other small things. It does seem to run good, I havnt actually had is on the water yet, hopefully this weekend. I assume that its a 50:1 mix ratio?, doesnt say anywhere on it. I also heard a rumor that some of the 2.5 (maybe all of them) have a restrictor plate in the carb that can be taken out and will be similiar to a 3 hp, and that the carbs are set up the same so no other adjustments are needed. My niece little 90 4 wheeler had something like this. Dont know if any of this is true.


Thanks again
Rebil
