I don't text. Cash only. Selling for someone else. Not sure on the history of it. It had a little bit of old gas in the tank. I could spray premix in the carb and it'll fire off that. Most likely needs fuel system work. It has been months since I last did that though. Not sure but I assume this model has a clutch but as soon as the engine turns over so does the cutting head. Throttle has been turned 180 and taped. I try to check email once a day but only during the week.
