I was walking past this every day for 3 years and never noticed it there buried under a pile of junk. Homelite ZIP Five. 50 years old, 18 lbs 5.6 HP. It seems to be complete, except for part of the muffler? It is not seized up which was surprising to me. I don't know much about engines really but piston and cylinder look ok? Seems to have compression. The oiler works. It seems like the Homelite ZIP is pretty common, but I haven't read much about the ZIP Five? I am going to try cleaning it up this weekend and see if a friend and I can get it to start.
Does anyone have the muffler piece that is missing that I could buy? From my research its really just a deflector with a spark screen. I guess I could just put some screen over the opening.
