Hi DFB,
Welcome here where we love our 2 strokes. No surprise that it fired up, they are amazing machines that changed the way the world cut grass/lawns all those years ago.
Good luck with the resto, they look amazing when brought back to when they left the factory.
Those wheels you have there are worth a kings ransom, be careful with them
My parents bought one exactly like that in probably 1963/4, first and last thing they ever bought on HP, Mum was horrified with the interest they paid on it it scared her for life. How times have changed, they were about 54 pounds and I think wages about that time were about 5 pounds a week
