G'day Menacer,
Hope you enjoyed your holiday. My 'er indoors' is always banging on about doing such a thing.
Re the battery charge. I just consulted the book of words. The last digit in the model number is a 2 and indicates it is pull start thus no alternator. And that's how it appears generally in the pics. But......
I notice in the photos that the pull start rope is missing.......and is that a starter lurking under the fuel tank??
Has it been modified to electric start?
