Re: Opinions needed

The next owner will almost certainly need to pull the flywheel to address the spark problem – and if its really never been removed, that could be a tough job at this late date. Same situation with the impeller, and maybe even the carburetor – those are both involved jobs.

Since you don’t know who will end up with it (their level of skill, etc.) I’d say you’d be doing a service to both them and the hobby in general by taking care of these issues right now – before something equally sad and avoidable happens to it down the road. If not, you’ll have to carefully vet your potential buyer(s), make sure they are fully informed and in a position to do what’s needed without collateral damage.

That said, it can’t be too wet behind the ears.. look at all the paint wear on the shift lever, and the knock-about dings from R&R’ing the motor.
