Interesting comments but contradicts some very positive reviews from
people who have actually owned of this little motor:

"As for the motor itself, it ran great. Starts easy, has lots of pep.
It sounds a bit like a tractor motor rather than an outboard. At low
rpm it does have quite a bit of vibration - you can feel the cylinder
firing every other stroke (4-stroke). And I think it killed my Timex,
it stopped ticking. But the price is right, considering that a
comparable new outboard would cost...."

Some people are too cheap for their own good.
