Lanse, Please don't look at it from "I am desperate", you will get burnt looking at it from that point of view. You seem young, and you have time to keep looking, as one guy said, you just need to be patient, and one will come your way. I had the same attiutde you had a few years back, a guy had an LB McCormick Deering 3-5hp gas engine for sale, I arranged to buy it, he brought it to my house to drop it off. Now at the time I was kinda new to gas engines, and a guy had given me a Sandow 2 cycle hit n miss engine made by the Detroit Motor Car company. Well, stupid me, the guy seen that and offered to trade me, I jumped on it, I was "desperate" for a hopper cooled engine of some sort and the Sandow needed a lot of work, and I did not know where to get parts for the Sandow, and did not undertstand how it ran and worked and parts were easy to get for the McCormick Deering, so I traded him even up. Found out later the Sandow is a pretty rare engine and was worth about 4 times what the engine I got was worth, so please do not act desperate or you will get taken advantage of. I did that once and now I regret it, but it is in the past and I go forward from there, and try to be a little smarter from there, not always, but at least I try. Jim
