@@andrewjoyce7789 me too actually. Given it was hand crank and not electric starter also. But it happens alot. Amazing how easy some of this old stuff starts up after resting for so long
@@oldamericaniron5767 the asking prices over here are offen far to high. But i was just in the right place at the right time. Also the day after i asked about buying it he backed his caravan into it and the wife then wanted it gone.
