Hi Robin, local tip now run by the council and nothing to be removed!!, hence useless.
It is a 5HP 2500 RPM vertical shaft 4 stroke, so has a horizontal carb barrel. It looks slightly military in faded olive drab and drives a large disc with triangular cutters fitted to it through a right angle gearbox. It uses a poly-vee belt with tensioner to drive the rear wheels.
Slug of fuel will get it going but it takes turns in either running for a short time (not lifting fuel from the "cup" in the fuel tank) or running for 5 mins (not replenishing said cup with the "Pulsa-jet).
New jets and diaphragm, ultrasonic clean and blasted with compressed air all to no avail.
