The engine is new to me and didn’t run when I got it about a year ago. The previous owner bought it with the intention to restore it but the price tags on the included spray paint dated back to 2014. My guess is that it hasn’t run for much longer.
I’ll be gone this week and was hoping to take that motor with me to test it. Looks like I’ll have to bring another one then.
I have a new base gasket ordered but it will take at least another 3 weeks to arrive, when I get back next week I’ll attach a garden hose to the water tube and see what that tells me. I’ll report back to let you know how it turned out!
