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

Good spot. The idiot put 2T mix in a 4 Stroke :-) it gets better Roland

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

Tony,
Definitely a four stroke.

I've lost track of how many times I've heard, "I just turned it on to see if it worked, and it went bang" :-(
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

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 :-))
