The 5.9 blew it's top

[modified]

What you getting to replace it?

Mine a little has over 6 gallons and I think it's done too. No major damage but it was running really bad. Needs a main bearing for sure, but I'm gonna see if it won't at least run right before I put any money into it. Wonder if this is an average life span for these mills? No one seems to run them this long LOL.

Average life of a 5.9 is how ever long it takes that person to save for another motor.

7 gallons of fuel is a good long time for a rtr mill imo :joker:
