Had my 225 looper motor lose a cir-clip and cause the wrist pin to wiggle free and bend a rod. These are almost 25 year old.
I'm sure that powerhead has been replaced before. I can get another powerhead for about 4K ( i will install it) OR do I repower with a new motor rigged fro about 20-25 K.
I could replace a power head every other year for the next 10 years and still not hit 20-25 K just tired of working on them.
Seems to be always something. Whether its a Timer base or Stator, carbs leaking mounting bolts snapping etc etc etc.
But darn those new motors are expensive peace of mind vs wallet?
What would you do?
