I have one with a Honda GVC160, pretty standard motor

I bought it at an auction, got it home and the motor was so tight you could pull start it, took it apart and got a drill to spin the motor, got it loosened up , put it back together and it started on the 3rd pull. Has always started by the 3rd pull since and that was 2 years ago.

have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
