G'day maxwestern,
you just couldn't turn that beauty down. That will clean up top notch for a quick sale. I find cheap degreaser and a wet rag cleaned that same engine cover very nice when I did it.
Norm, I found these about 2km from my place so there is some hope. They seem to get grabbed very quick though.
Good news the PT started right up after pulling off the float chamber cover and cleaning all the passage ways with carby cleaner and checking the needle was ok.
It starts at the slightest pull of the starter. Very happy. It just needs new blades and it's ready to mow.
Onto the Briggs Tornado next.
