Brrraaaaap!
Yea, the black paint is not very durable. That 2171 is in NICE shape!!
I'm thinking that the crank was probably factory defective. Ran it, and one day it wouldn't pull over I don't know. Piston was still usable, jug had a tiny bit of transfer but no scratches.
How would a crank get killed in 10 tanks of fuel or less, and still have the piston\cylinder be in reasonable shape (compared to the crank)?
Oh well, good for me, I got a sweet 2171 now
