I'm so frustrated it's not even funny. I have purchased 4 "running" motors for my scamp at this point and was told by each seller "yeah it runs great, no noise, no smoke." And maybe I am the sucker for not asking for some better proof of running condition I still want to know what the hell people actually consider a running engine these days. 2 engines with wiped cam bearings, 2 with major bottom end play and Honestly I'm not in the position to be throwing away money rebuilding these damn things otherwise I would have bought a built motor. I'm a Dad with 3 kids I don't have a ton of Spare cash laying around so when I buy something I was told runs great I assumed it wouldn't have been another boat anchor. Rant over, but, seriously I just want a good running engine for my baby.
