Got this on a long distance CL deal, sight unseen except for some fuzzy photos. The lister was selling it for his dad and didn't know much about it except that it had sat for a long time. Supposedly, he had fired it up recently, though.
This is how it was shipped. No padding whatsoever inside the box. Some people......
But, it somehow survived the journey.
Apparently, the nuts that attach the filter assembly are missing. I'll probably end up fabricating replacements.
There is no fuel line or filter inside the tank. Yet the seller claimed it was running recently, WITHOUT A FUEL LINE ? Also, the pawls on the starter were rusted in place so they wouldn't engage. Easy fix, but don't tell me it was running recently.
The 084 came from the Oregon coast, only 4 miles from the ocean. I'm guessing it was stored in a garage or a tool shed for many years, because there's lots of corrosion. The muffler cover was rusted stuck. Lots of Kroil and some prying finally broke it free......
....... revealing a piston and cylinder in very good shape.
