Bought my son a PW80 project

I got my son a PW80 for a few quid as it was 'Spares or Repairs'. It was sold as being jammed in gear. So I stripped down the box and found a few surprises!!

The petrol was this colour

And this is the only damage I can see that had been caused by the allen key not allowing the kick starter to disengage.

Now to try and source the parts in the UK!

Holy crap that's alot of FOD. In all my time, which is pretty short, I have never seen that much crap INSIDE an engine. You have certainly peaked my interests!

Well I sent the shaft to a machine shop and they're going to fill the gouge with TIG weld so I can shape it back to its original profile. It's costing £15 as opposed to £42 for a new shaft.
