Not sure if pics uploaded. Just wondering if these engines are any good? What normal problems are? Things to watch out for?

the model number is J200TXEIB
 
Main check points... Check the compression... With s/plugs removed, check the spark, should jump a 7/16" gap... Drain a very slight bit of lower unit lube to check for water in the gearcase. Check for piston play via bring piston to top, then down slightly. Then, while holding flywheel from moving apply pressure to piston with a screwdriver (or something). If the piston moves w/o moving the flywheel... walk away for that particular engine although as Boobie states "It is generally a well designed engine."
