<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">teachu2, thanks for the manual. i couldn't find it on the google. the motor does run fine. it's got about 1/2 a gallon through it and he doesn't want it anymore. he got a .55AX for a pretty good deal. i've never run a 4-stroke or took care of one, but i saw a few people talking about them and was just curious about the maintenance for them. i want it for my cub or RV-4. probably the RV-4.</span>
