yes idles very well, carb is excellent, i wood say it runs better then new, it will drive, u push throttle and it will just creepa few seconds and all of a sudden all the power will come and take off, yes one shaft
just bought a yamaha 225dx it sat for awhile bc the middle drive bearing was out. got tht relaced it will move but when u push throttle in it barely moves then 3-5 seconds later the power will kick in...why could this being doing this??
