This last Saturday I came across this at a garage sale. I tried to pull it over & it was locked up. Haggled with the seller a bit & got it for 15 bucks thinking the parts would be worth that. Got started into it Saturday night & to my joyful surprise mud daubers had built a massive nest against the flywheel around the coil causing it to be "locked up". Cleaned it all up, fresh gas & some mix down the carb & it runs fairly well but I am still going to clean & kit It. Great buy considering what these run new but what's the market for it? I really don't have a need for it & the wife said she would preffer to keep her Oreck as she didn't want gas fumes inside the house ::)....  I guess I will just CL it & see if I get any takers...
