The odds are it will run. Most of these old motors
never got used enough to be worn out but often
weren’t stored well. Gas left in them, water in the
gear case. Knocked over a few times denting the
gas tank. And worst of all a damp, humid
environment. I haven’t run mine in several years
but the last time I did I ran it several times a day
for a few weeks. Never let me down. I decided to
sell it as I wasn’t using it. Got it all cleaned up and
shinny an fell in love all over again.
You know about 105 or Corn Head grease for the
Gear case?
Tubs.
