It is indeed a kawasaki, and today, it ran, just a top up of oil and a little fuel, and off she went! The pull starter needs a clean, a little reluctant to catch the engine, and of course the batrery and belt cover need to be replaced, but apart from that, it's starting first (engaged) pull, running smooth cutting well and driving great!
The interesting thing is the deadmans swutch on this one, blades stop almost instantly, but no need to restart... It runs a clutch under the motor, and has a two part engage so that kiddies can't re-engage the blades when running!!!
