Rob,
been poking around on it tonight. the throttle cable and the blade engagement cables are seized so I'm going to have to remove and replace them before anything fires. I need to drop the carb and give it a bit of a going through. the oil is probably syrup, so fresh dinasour juice is in order. wonder if the old Champion spark plug will fire?!

I'd like to keep everything as original as possible. it lasted 61 years in this condition, It would be a shame to change it now.
