anybody know much about these? the weight isnt bad(a concern for me) and i think the carbed motors have a good rep for reliability. found a couple of these in an attractive price range so they r on my list of possibilities

Depends mainly on how they were used and how well they were maintained more than anything else. Carbed motors in general are adversely affected by today's "fuels" (can't call that stuff gasoline anymore)

yea some strange fuel mixture witha short shelf life and will barely burn with a match...... a bargain at only $4 per gallon!
