Keep on with the good suggestions given and don't give up on the 129 until you figure out the problem

Been keeping my eye open, mostly on eBay, for engines or even 129s, but most of the guys have so little info on them that I wouldn't know what I'm buying. There is a guy that has a 129 in what looks to be in beautiful condition - he just bought it awhile back and now is selling it. I had several pieces of correspondence with him and he admittedly knows absolutely nothing about it. I find that to be really weird, but whatever. Another guy has a rebuilt engine listed but has never heard it run nor has any idea when it was rebuilt! I mean, really?
