2.2Kw SGS generator £50 nr Doncaster. Will need carb draining or cleaning...not a difficult task, ask if you want help or advice with that. It'll also probably want an oil change, again a very simple task...just ask.

Seller says,
"Used for track days over the years so had an easy life. Fired up this morning as per the video, now it needs a bit of easy start so suspect old crap fuel needs draining."
