I got my "mower" 125 in 2003. It's still running strong. it's a cast iron block with aluminum piston and connecting rod. Just keep the oil changed ( plus topped off ), a clean air filter on it and it'll last a long, long time.


My friend gave me a 1966 122 that was at his garage when he purchased the building. It smoked like mad when I started it. I tore the engine down and when I checked the bore , it was still within factory specs on the original, standard size bore.
