It says he's sold 6, what I have done in the past is to look at the feedback, then contact previous buyers to see if the thing works, you also get a bit of a longer term report this way as well, rather than I've had it one day and it works!!

Mine has a mind of it's own, so just disconnected it, going to make a alloy bung to go in place and run without one as it idles when stone cold anyway, needs just a few secs holding then ok, they seem to be a pain, but most are 20+ years old so did good service!!
