I have owned for 2 months. Have put 1-2 quarts of oil in it within 3,000 miles. Started it in garage 3 days ago. It ran for 2-5 seconds and died. It is now freewheeling. My question is do I repair the engine I have or replace with reman unit now that I know of the history of this engine? If I do replace it, what can I do to prevent failure of replacement engine?
