A guy had this and only wanted what he had in upholstery, so I paid $120. I don't get into these newer machines, but for that price, I couldn't pass it up.
I brought it home and lubed everything, except the clutch. I guess it's a Comet TAV system? I added fuel to the tank, and of course fuel ran out the carb, fixed the floats, and pulled the starter.
The old Tec 6 started RIGHT up, went to full throttle, (also forgot to ensure the gov was working) and tore off dragging me behind it across the garage floor. Ended up hitting the wall, (good thing my shop vac was there to cushion the collision) and I was finally able to hit the off button.
It needs a carb rebuild, and some steering work, and some brake work, but for $120.....Here's a photo of me "hauling ass" and yes, I really am that ugly. This is my test and tune street in front of the garage.
