thanks guys . it was a good score i think yes . deejay , nothing in the manual with a date . just what seems to be an update for a 4stroke ..move throttle control to slow and depress cutout strip on to spark plug and hold untill engine comletely stopped . and hints at a push/pull fuel tap too . hope this helps ? and looks like it had the kirby from new , the old guy it was from never said it was changed and he had it from almost new . and sorry i cant contact him now

might be good to know more . the engine is missing the "id" plate too . but going by the wear on choke lever (moves sideways and sucks air ) it is all origional . just need to find some airfilter foam as no one around here has any and nothing new either ! .... just looked at the book again , i think you can make out it has a kirby on it in the pic ? it looks like its never been painted and is alpine green
