Hey Max
That's not an issue mate, can always give it a few extra lazy tuggs
Plan of attack is to clean carb, fix recoil cord, service starter clutch and bearings, clean and re gap coil, flywheel & points. Hopefully it fires right up at that and behaves its self! if its good I will then replace the plug and change out the oil for either some HD diesel 15w40 mineral or marine 25W50 semi synth which I have in my hoards and been trying to use up, the 25w40 is excellent in small engines, got it at SCA on clearance for a steal and it acts like mono weight anyway! great stuff
These engines sit the opposite way around to late model B&S classic/sprint engines so I guess that means if i ever decide to swap out the engine for a modern b&s ohv engine i will need to re drill the base or mount engine in the opposite orientation
