to rebuild or replace ?

What is the condition of the shaft? If it has any scratches in it- the new seals will continue to leak. A gas motor is more portable.

i have not "inspected" it, but i didnt see any big gauges

the guy had it torn apart before i got it, so hard to tell how bad it was leaking

as for the gas/electric, yes, a gas engine will go anywhere, but my property is not that big that i cant get an extension cord out there

and i bet i could make it a 10 minutes swap between gas and electric
