hi gmax,
it was advertised as all parts moving but owner couldnt start so might be in luck.
if not a two stroke victa motor is not hard to find anyway
so like you i hope to get lucky my dad said to me tonight he doesent know how many times he has found a mower that just needed a new spark plug to run perfectly
i cant belive you only paid $26 for a chainsaw i tried to get one from ebay last year but always got outbid at the last minute now dad has told me the secret to bidding at just the right second you only get outbid if someone else beats you by milliseconds.
