I�m in agreeable with you both. I don�t see why he pulled it apart in the first place. I do believe the motor is in good enough condition to get going again. When I checked the inside of the engine when I first received it I also checked the pistons and bore. They are all in good condition. I�m keen to give it a go maybe one step at a time. When I get the chance I�ll put the pull start on and check the spark plug. And we can go from there if all good. I will let you know when I have had the chance to do this and see where we go from there.
Fingers crossed 🤞 it won�t be to much trouble
