Thanks for all the advice. I will tear into it this weekend. I’m treating this as a learning experience.
It needs normal maintenance so I’ll change the oil, air filter, and spark plug. It has old gas in it which I’ll drain and I will clean the carburetor and play with the mixture. I will also check the flywheel.
Boy this thing is loud. I’m also going to trying to get a bigger muffler for it.
It surprised me by starting and running. Usually when something like this happens, I cannot get the ##@ thing started.
