Not sure at all about motor to be honest. He had told me years ago he thought he screwed the cam up, but he told my uncle he had sucked a piston. Then I spoke with a neighbor who said he drove it home one day and never drove it again. He told neighbor it was his and my mom's and he was retiring it forever, kinda hard to know what to believe at this point. I also found a scribbled note he wrote in some paperwork that said the same about it being retired. He was an odd one at times. The neighbor had occasionally turned motor over but did not actually start it whenever he did some chores at the house he told me. Nothing since then. He gave me money specifically for an engine last year prior to passing when I was asking about getting vehicle running but I was asked not to due anything till he was gone
As for the black one I do not care for it but it does start right up . I use it for getting around up there and 4wheels up the road to the cabin no problem down the road. Here some of the engine bay. It deserves a new motor
