I picked up a 2012 Honda 5hp outboard motor from some old geezer who said it wouldn’t idle because of a part in the throttle linkage he broke or lost (he didn’t exactly remember ) Anyway ,it starts first pull ,and works perfectly so no idea what the dude was talking about .$100.00 and an oil change (a whopping 1/2 litre of oil ) and I am expecting many years of great service .

Be careful here us old geezers have and are kind hearted! The money doesn’t mean as much as the smile! That’s why grandkids get nice things…motorcycles come too mind here…
