Picked this 17" up today off verge collection. Apart from the dubious Star motor , what's the go with the rest .
It look remarkably like a SB 45 which it could well be a chinese copy.
I'll have to fix the pull start and if this motor is same as the Star edgers it may just need the main jet cleaned to get it going. That's hoping anyway.

Hi sparksy,

Yes it's a Yardstar STA 17 Chinese copy of a Scott Bonnar 45 ,looks like it shouldn't take much to get this mower running.

One place these were sold was Bunnings.

Cheers

I just brought one of these off market place on Tuesday, only $200 runs really well. Only got about 60sqm of lawn, hopefully it'll do the job.

I messaged Brisbane Cylinders Mower Specialist about this make/model and they said the supaswift/bush ranger parts will fit straight on, not the Scott bonnar/rover 45 parts
