I picked up a Pope 6 months ago and I hadn't bothered looking at it, body is good wheels are good but I had obviously been left under a tree for quite a while. Anyway I put it on the bench for a look and the carby was obviously the issue (usually is ) it was filthy inside and out, obviously been run without a filter for quite a while. I pulled the carby and gave it a good clean and put it back on and it started straight up on the pull start but it requires 3/4 choke to keep it running. I will give it a bath in the ultrasonic and see if that fixes the problem. Apart from that the motor runs very well. Other problem is I don't have a catcher for it, so I will have to work out something there
