Ebay item

I know we don't usually do this but I just could't resist:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item '0618984309
Anyone reaching for their wallet? Go on, don't miss it after all "THIS IS THE ONE WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!"

His view of its worth is laughable especially since he further reduced it by filling and starting it. ttfn Roland

Thankfully this one ran, but if it had been sitting for years then surely stripping it down and greasing/oiling as necessary before a first run would have been a wise idea?

You'll be amused by the sellers view that he had only tested it so it was still unused :-) ttfn Roland

Nick,
I wish you wouldn't put stuff up like that, its dangerous, my computer is in the smallest bedroom and I have just hurt myself on furniture rolling around in hysterics. He's got one thing wrong, he says it is unused yet he has run it!

"Filled the sump" "put oil/petrol mixture in the tank"
OK, so I may be wrong but I am sure engine like that we had on an Allan autoscyth was an ordinary two stroke.

You chaps know far more about these older engines that I do but I question the four stroke bit.

Lovely! I sent this to him.....
"Excellent! Best bit of fun I've seen recently. Well done for spending a bob or two purely for a laugh! We were particularly impressed by the "still unrun although I've run it" concept and the fact that you put two stroke mix in a four stroke engine.
Thanks again. Best,"
Let's see what happens next ............

Already tried a gentle prod - no response. I see it has been relisted with an ever-so tempting buy it now price.

If I had an engine like that and some silly bugger paid the buy it now price I couldn't bring myself to charge him another £30 for postage :-))
