Local craigslist find. Seller said it needed carb work, but when he described the symptoms it sounded more like low compression. Sure enough, when I showed up, a tug on the rope confirmed low compression. Made an offer and brought it home. Likely straight gassed, but I vac and pressure tested just to be safe. Seals are good. Rebuilt the carb for piece of mind.
I think the cylinder will be salvageable, so I will just put a Meteor piston in it and a fresh fuel line.
