All of the Fox engines I've seen run pretty good. My Fox 40 runs great even though the front bearing leaks like crazy. A bearing replacement is about 7 bucks, so that's not a big deal. It's a ringed, so remember that it will be a little less powerful, but properly run, it will last for a while. I've got some ringed engines that I bought second hand that are 10+ years old, and they still run great. One of them was being run 2000 RPM too lean just to get it to idle inverted. Why it didnt quit, is still a mystery.
