So testing it might be a good idea, but you are in the middle of a bunch of other stuff and are on a good roll. Maybe offer them 10 pounds? More if they can get it running? I was thinking you had that neat little Briggs and Stratton already, the gold one. Would much rather have that than a Chinese knockoff, but maybe this is a backup engine?
Agreed.

I think the gold engine is a bit small.

The thing is one can get a cheapish chinese copy engine and save possibly hours worth of fighting with a dead engine.

I will think about it some more.
