Scoundrels!
I purchased a Johnson 50 HP short block from their web site. I asked point blank if it would run and had they done a compression check on the engine. I was assured that all I had to do was install the short block, attach my carburetors and electronics and the engine would run. When the engine arrived, there were six head bolts missing, the head gasket had been removed and the lower cylinder was scored to the point of needing to be bored oversize. Don't buy anything from these rascals that you don't go lay your eyes on. They are totally unscrupulous and would not even return my inquiries after the sale. Run Away! read more
