Can I underbid you? lol!

It does have a KK NVA on it. I bet it would clean up.

It's got restoration challenge written all over it Mike.
Looks like it's missing the needle though.
Probably a sure start piston/cylinder.
It has the KK valve body, could it be hiding
a KK presure backplate and chromed crank?
I think $25 total would be my limit for her.

I have gotten better deals for $20. Are KK nva`s really that rare for TD 049`s? In that case I better keep both mine hid well Affraid or WOW!

I think I'll pass. I wouldn't want to risk owning that. The crankshaft might look as bad as the outside.

i sorta posted it as a joke.....the description is what got me...."run 2 or 3 times".......jeez, for how long each time and then what happened to all the parts that are missing.......
the KK NVA is not a collector item as it is readily available from Hank of Texas Timer.

just thought it sad to see a Cox engine so badly abused.
