Good morning everybody!!! I need some friendly advice today. I have the chance to add a 1979 1650 to my collection. The engine runs fairly well although it leaks a little oil, the hydro runs fine. The tin is in good shape although its missing the side panels ( which to me seems like no big deal). It has a 44" deck on it now but I am hoping that one of my 50C decks might fit it.
The only reason that I am fearful of buying it is the quietline factor, meaning the iso mounts. Are these a BAD thing? Are there any horror stories related to them breaking down and being hard to replace? How can I tell if they need replacing? I think that its a good deal ($275) but am I leary of those type engine of mounts. Well, that's it. Have a great day!!!
