the old Continental engines are hard to kill,the only weak point was the points ignition..other than that they run forever..I had one in my first forklift..looks as tho you could use some welding lead racks to hang your leads on-keep 'em from falling off when you move it..or does it have Tweco connectors on it so you can remove the leads? very expensive cable these days
SA-200 's around here are expensive! neighbor just got one dirt cheap from somewhere! They are hard to find here and like gold when you do find one. I havent used my little Lincoln for a long time ---- had to clean the armature and reconnect a burned wire the last time I did use it. --- I bought it new and used it a LOT! mostly used it as stand-by generator when power went off, which was a lot back then!

Blasted the tank pulled plugs had couple sticky valves....I can still smell that gas. Put it back together run real good...so I struck a deal before it went to auction..got good deal and got paid to fix it
