$5 at tip shop. It was missing spark plug boot and wire gone. gave it a spray with Reject shop degreaser foam.... Then water blasted it, now ready work on it when it dries out... I have found these a really reliable machine, maybe I have been lucky. speedy

Nice buy, only problem I have seen with these cheaper machines are the poor quality of the fuel lines and primer bulb. Replace the lines and bulb with good ones, then replace the Chinese spark plug and your good to go.
I heard that the engine is called an IE34F and is based off some Komatsu designed engine - don't know how true it is
They are quite a good engine - but I have sliced my finger open on a sharp piece of plastic cowl on one whilst pull starting - so be careful
I actually prefer the ones without the clutch - in certain applications. To do the edges on crooked bricks, 1/4 throttle gives good finish and a bit of margin of error
I had to replace spark lead, so had to take it apart, one screw didn't want to undo, had to cut an extra groove for a flat screwdriver and use penetrating spray. I put another lead on but without boot.. good spark. Had to take plastic handles off as throttle cable was not engaging... the holding screw for the cable end had broken, drilled a hole and put a screw on to hold cable end. Those plastic parts break, plastic welded the sides....eventually put it back together..... I had the end head unit facing upwards............. So I unloosened everything and turned it around.... . And this is what I ended up with..... Now the throttle was on the wrong side...... Bugger, I just want to see if it fires up..... fuel overflow line, just hung it out the back..... It fired up , 2nd pull...... ran well.... for 5 min.... good to just run the engine to loosen up everything. Then the throttle cable stop buggered and I had no throttle........ More work needed, but I have another LT26, yes it's a 26 cc..... that fell off a truck literally and broke a lot of stuff...... I gotta get one going.......out of all these parts. cheers speedy

Got it right way up and throttle cable anchored, but that throttle lock doesn't work andmore, and case is cracked..... I just use gaffa tape, a few wraps and its secure..... It starts first pull, heaps of power.... speedy
