I stumbled across this on craigslist and could not resist for $300.
It was sold as a non runner that the owner said he could not get to start.
Once I got it home the first thing I did was check it over and find out why he had no power to anything. It would have been nice if he had hook up the new battery correctly ( was not hooked to solenoid ). After sorting out the electrical I checked the tank and unbelievably it is spotless on the inside but dented on the outside so I put a gallon of gas in it, threw the charger on it and hit the starter button. It fired in about 8 turns but #4 was not hitting. As I figured it is in need of a carb clean and general tune so I off to the auto parts store for a new can of berryman's ( mine is well use and getting weak ).
