This is exactly right.
Norm, I've had the same thing happen to me with lawn mowers, they were suppose to be working great, upon closer examination the carby is totally blocked, muffler rusted beyond comprehension, starting cord rough to pull. Unfortunately there is no such thing as a free lunch or it's very rare. Give it back to your neighbour and ask them to show you how it works fine before you'll take it.
