Went to a auction today and picked up a 13 hp predator electric start engine.. It fired up on the first pull. It's more engine than I need for my sawmill project but it will work good. Got it for 145.00 new they are 360.00.

Excellent buy on an excellent engine.  I have the same one on the mill.  It sat all winter, through a -30F spell and fired up the first pull.  I forgot to turn off the gas and run it dry, too.  Non ethanol gasoline in it.  You'll like yours.  It feels more like a 15hp, at least mine does.
