Couldn't pass it up
I latched on to this yesterday.
The PO bought it at an auction couldn't get it to run. He told me he's not mechanical. So it sat in his garage. He tried to sell it for awhile, but no luck. Priced to high for a nonworking unit.
So recently he posted it again online for trade/barter. So I finally swooped in and snatched it. Traded some nice older RC offroad trucks for it.
Took it home, added oil (that's why it wouldn't start)
new spark plug, cleaned carb, cleaned foam type air cleaner, changed pump oil and it now run's like a stripped ape. What's nice is it will be used not stored. My old unit is worn out and this just worked out great as I need it for my build projects and exterior house projects.
