One of the things that sold me on the Vanguards is how abuse tolerant they are. I’ve worked on some that had the fins so packed full with mouse nests that I couldn’t figure why they had not welded themselves solid. Had one that a plug that came out of the carb and the owner ran it for a year with the choke full on. It had 900 plus hours on it and ran fine after I fixed the carb. I don’t think you can buy a better engine today for less $$$.
