Just a quick update:

I found an 2001 8hp Nissan 2-stroke on Craigslist last night in Sanford. I just got back from picking it up a few hours ago. It wanted to conk off at low speed unless you kept the choke on half, but a quick check of the plugs found one loose, fouled, and both had an incorrect gap. Fixed that stuff, ran some good fuel trough it and it runs like a champ now... YAY!!!

We'll give it a spin this weekend and see how it pushes the Avon along. I'll let you know how it goes. I am glad the search is over... for now at least.

Tom-
nice find!* I hope it works out!
