Dad picked this up about a week ago from an auction along with a red clothed micro XXV Theres something about old school magnesium. There big, heavy and loud. The looks are killer. Wish it was a gear drive, but a 700D with a clean fuel and oil tank, and a pristine piston/cylinder for 6 bucks, whats not to love? Anybody else prefer the old iron? Lets see em.

It does but its all superficial, i couldnt believe it when i checked the fuel tank and piston that it was clean, if it has or can get spark, it will run

Them old dogs are getting hard to find in my area. I think the collectors or folks that display them have the Supply on the run.
