I went home during lunch today, had to throw a little paint on a bag toss game. After this I looked at the 1450 and thought hmmm let's look at this quickly.
Opening the gas tank I found empty and dry, I also found the hose to the carb was off the connector. Maybe its a lack of gas problem...? Of course my gas can is also empty.
Lifting the seat I found the battery to be from April 2016 however the connections were rather corroded, positive side was very corroded. I hooked up my charger and it seemed the battery was charged, connecting my volt meter confirmed this. When touching the positive cable I found it to be loose. I took both cables off and cleaned the connections, installed new bolts and turned the key and it turned over. My gas can is also empty so I took off the left side cover and took off the air cleaner cover. turned it over again while giving it a bit of carb cleaner and it started!
Once I figure out the gas part this 1450 might even run!

I told you it would be a very simple fix (sort of). I bet you have a nice unit ready for work with a couple of simple fixes.
I call these past owners "wonderfully weird" with their reasons for selling. It's a big plus for our hobby and can only encourage searching on.

Vincent - you lucky so and so!!!!!
It's not often that I'm moved in the way I was moved today!
The video link below is something that NEEDS to be seen by everyone at least once, No matter which you lean.
This to ME is what it means to be the PROUD AMERICAN in the few words of John Kelly!
If this offends you or you have other thoughts, or feel that it doesn't belong on the main forum board! I DON'T CARE!
It is what it is, and I for one feel that as long as we have MEN like this among us, There is hope!
There is no need to comment on here, That's not what needs to be done.
Just listen to the words!
