Dawesy Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Morning all! New member here, looking for some help identifying more on the above! I’ve dug this out and think it must be at least 20 years old! From what I can tell, the fuel tanks missing, the engines very tight and the one way bearing in the pull cord is broken! Any ideas how I’d go about locating the bits to put it right? It doesn’t even look like the shell was ever finished, looks like it was put together, cord snapped and then left in the box! Cheers, J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just got no decals, which is a shame... I’m in the process of renovating my garage, once it’s done I’ll get a workbench and start tinkering 😬 J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
