well i just got back from mowing this old mans lawn, i have been mowing it for years now and me and the man have gotton to be freinds. well i esed his lawn mowertoday so i went to the garage, i was pulling the mower out when it caught a sheet that was covering a ratty old honda helix, i looked at the odomiter and it had roughtly 8,00 miles on it and had no cracks in the body but was missing paint and was all faided and dusty. i aske dthe old m an about it and he siad i have not ridden it for a verry long time if it starts i will be amazed. so i went to him and asked if could buy it of him and he said if his grand son doesnt want it then i can have it, well i said to him may i atleast se if it runns he said be my guest the tools are in the tool box and there is oil and gas on the shelf, so i put fresh gas in, luckly there was no gas in it and it was not rusty, and i did an oil change, sreayed some carb cleaner onto the carb cleaned the air filter addaed water to the water cool system and it turned and stayed onn for about 1 min and then died, we jumpet it off a car battery that was sitting in the corner. he says most likely his grans some will get it becous he like things with moters.
