    well... shes dead.

    I keep panty hose in all my trucks just incase of this. ""Not to hitch hike home LOL!!"" but to use as a temp belt for the water pump. If you put it on tight and cut the loose ends off so there not flopping around it will last about 15 to 20 minutes. Glad it is ok.

    To Rebuild it or buy rebuilt?

    I agree. I would pull the pan and pull the caps off and look at the bearings. If the crank in not all screwed up you might get away with just replaceing the bearings and oil pump, If the crank is realy scored bad take it to a rebuilder and have them resurface it. About 3 hours of work on your...

    Low power is about it but if you know offroading Carbs Suck on a Gas engine when you go strait up a cliff to the point of almost backfliping the carb will flood out and kill your engine and leave you in a messed up spot.

    rebuilding the starter

    I wish I knew about that 37 dollar kit before I paid 200 for a rebuilder to do mine. That more than likely would have made mine work just fine But the shop did change every thing except the black outer steel case.
