It's a long shaft by the look of it. Just sold a 6hp much cleaner for £380. Should give you an idea of where it's at.

so worth £150 then , with try before buy!

I think your struggle to find a better deal at that kind of money.

Do your trial and see how you get on, don't be concerned if it pumps hot water then stops, then pumps hot again. It's the way these model operate. People often remove the stat (and change plugs to compensate) to get a constant flow. If yours pumps almost right away that's what has been done

Let us know how you get on

will do - now need use for the engine lol I would have use if it was a short shaft
