The shipping process was flawless, the engine arrived in perfect shape and we are 2 hrs into the break-in period on it. We have another hour of putting along before we can operate it at higher throttle for a few minutes.

It started on the second pull out of the box, idles dead quiet and just gets one of us on plane at 1/4 throttle (max allowed during this break-in time).

SO thanks to all the great information posted in this thread. I got my hands on a used, good condition 2-stroke Nissan 8HP!
