Just bought this on the market, anyone have any experience with these? Any known issues or what to check annually as well as what might be needing replacement? Motor runs great had no issues just want to keep this motor looking good and maintained for a few more years any info would be greatly appreciated also attached photo and video of the motor running

Good motor. Replace impeller every 2 years, mix fuel correctly, decarbon yearly and make sure engine is propped correctly.

Agreed.-----Put a new factory impeller in now and every 2 years.-----Easy to do at home.

Had it out today for a good run, everything was great until full throttle acceleration it would bog down and didn't want to take power. At idle its fine. Possibly bad fuel or spark plugs? Started doing it at low speeds as well just like a sputter.
