Hi MF,
as you said, I cut the wire going to the carby, connected a module to that and if fired up first pull. Yes the wheels were a surprise, tread still there, and no slop in the bushes, all round it is in excellent condition. The house where it was picked up from is about 150 meters from my place and their grass is fairly long and I feel bad and was thinking I should offer to cut their lawn, not with this little gem though, wouldn't want to make a bad situation for them even worse. LOL.
