Well anyone handy with small engines knows that carburetor would be gunked up. I put a little gas in it and pulled the cord and it coughed to life. It ran a bit then it would run no more. The Sears chipper cost me $500 11 years ago; it was first part of my two part assault on the mini forest/jungle on the side of my house. Chemical warfare was part two applied with a plastic sprayer-
A flyover application would have been too costly. I learned recently some of that stuff causes cancer - the plants revenge.
I put it on Craigslist, got a couple of calls and a nice fellow with a huge trailer and suv took it away and I had $125 in my pocket. Things are changing here -the pinball machine is sitting in the dinning room, moved from my sons room awaiting gifting to a colleague. Though I always complained about the junk decluttering has me feeling a bit funny. I try to convince myself it isn't the last chapter- rather just another chapter and I'm ready to turn the page.
