Yes, RAM sure had their problems. As I well know, being the owner of three of the little jewels. My experience has been that the 750F is a good engine, never any problems with it.

The 500s are a bit of a different story. They can be miserable to start, but once they are going, they are fine - at least mine are. On the other hand, I would not buy a 1000 if the price were over $5. They are just not durable or reliable - my opinion. And yes, my latest engine is a JetCat.
