I got working on one of these today, interesting machine, I had to do a carby strip and clean and as usual the governor springs had been attacked b y some previous owner. Quite a good machine in good condition except for the front lower edge of the base has been broken off due to abuse which is a surprise because of the condition of the rest of it. I have it starting fairly easily now, it had no hope of running when I got it, needle was stuck solid in the seat, which is still a bit of a problem because now it won't shut off and the motor is surging on the governor, not sure if this is related to the needle not shutting properly. All in all as stated earlier a good machine
