"I've got an old 2-stroke, hasn't run for a couple of years - it's tucked away at the back of the garage, if you can get it running you can have it for nowt."

Ooh, we can't resist those can we ? Laughing

I couldn't get it started there and then, but I dragged it home and it burst into life with half a can of EasyStart squirted down the intake.

Anyone wanna guess what it is ? It's an aircooled single, running premix. Not registered, couple of bits missing, but should be OK with a bit of work and a clean.

Photo to follow soon... Wink

I'm going to take a guess at either a Bantam, or variant of it, or an MZ of some kind.

I'll go left-field and guess that Tim's got himself a Fantic MX'er so he can go falling off in muddy fields Laughing

Some good guesses there. All wrong I'm afraid.

Left-field thinking is the key though... Wink

It's American, I think. Confused Don't even know what size engine it is, but pretty small. Wink

Is it a recent acquisition, modified by you...?

I think I know what it is, but I won't spoil it for everyone else. Wink

Embarassed

I wish it was a GT380, or a 'crosser, or even a GoPed. Sadly it's this :



McCulloch Titan 2510 leaf blower/vacuum. Note the complete absence of wheels, and anything else that might make it fun. Crybaby

But it is a stroker, so at least it compensates for my f**r-stroke lawnmower. Thumbs Up

I'll get me coat... Rolling Eyes
