It's has 03 on the top side of the barrel. Looks like it has been sitting outside since 2003.... The blade has rust but is sharp.....
Fuel tank full of water, maybe the kids were practicing refueling......................
I checked the spark, good spark after I wire brished the flywheel.
Cleaned carb..... bit of a job, hard part was the builtin tap...
Put it together and IT FIRED with starter....... then just turned over...
I took the coil off and sanded the faces,, set the gap to 10 th.. no spark.... maybe coil is shot..... it worked before. I'll take flywheel off but I don't think there is anything under it to clean.....
I'd like to get it going..........
