Did I get a good deal? Merc '79 9.8?

Question

Paid $125 and a GOOD self-propelled lawn mower I had just gone through(new blade, bag, wheels{front, drive, and hi-boy rears}, belt.) rebuilt carb, tuned up.**O/B came w/ new impeller, I installed, couple nicks in prop(stock)

Answer 1

If the engine runs good and there is no problems with the electrical system, and it's what you need and works good, then it sounds like a h**l of a deal. I don't know what you're talking about with the lawnmower.

Answer 2

If you did the impellar your self... then hey your on your way..! ! !     changing spark plugs is easy on that engine also...so you can do some of  the work your self..... to me if you started it a ran it- did hear or see anything weird..... then you did ok......for that price... not bad- just look to see if there are parts for that still......
