well im not to sure of its history but it would appear the motor was rebuilt sometime in 2003 judging by the stamp on the side of the housing. its got kind of a lumpy idle but is smooth when your driving it has newer ngk plugs and wires i was going to pop the cap off and see if they need to be replaced probly needs a new fuel filter too.

I calculate everytime I fill up, and I average between 15.1mpg and 15.8mpg.
