after getting this engine , i changed the bearings .then i ran the engine to see if the carb and pump were ok.the only prop i used was a 13x8 apc. it turned 11300. i should have tried props to load the engine down in the 9700 to 10200 RPM range.i will have to do this in the future as i am pretty confident my wife will win the bid, even if it costs me the f,in fees.
If your wife is bidding, it is called shill bidding, and it is against ebay rules! It will get you kicked off ebay very quickly. If this is what you're doing, then you need to cancel all of the bids and pull the item from auction. If it isn't selling high enough, then you should have started it at a higher opening bid, or you should have placed a reserve on it.
