I have three, now over 40 years old and out perform others of larger size, the one I bought new is untouched and never been apart, the only parts needed were carburettor diaphragms, and the rubber fuel pickup from the tank, the diaphragms a very slightly smaller than the other two. the other one I have just incase the clutch parts company, its not uncommon when people run them slowly so the clutches chatter, so being made of die-cast the pivot bushes come loose, my spare part one was given to me, its not even run in but been pulled apart by? as ever part has been forced, had a phone call one day to say they had broken a blade off the flywheel getting the flywheel off and now vibrated badly, I said if its only one take same amount of the other side, years later was given it and decided to strip it and get it to run, well taking the cover off couldn’t believe there were only three were left one side, well got it to run but it was badly out of balance, also they had butchered the end of the crankshaft, looking at its clutch it had hardly been used. I know ones fitted with the electronic ignition did fail, but never known ones with points to give trouble.
