My son just bought one 20% off, not surprised he couldn't get it to run,
when I had a look no throttle cable or choke, and the bit on the engine bent
so as to prevent movement, "take it back" I said so he did, got his money
back but discovered they were all like it and Homebase swore blind it was
deliberate!!
