Simplicity 8HP chipper / mulcher - needs repair
This unit was bought around 2003 for $2500 and has had less than 100 hours use.
When it was started after a couple of years in storage it would not start (no spark).
The ignition coil was replaced and it still would not start. Took it to mechanic who said something had slipped in the timing and parts were not available. I do not have time to research and confirm, so here is a steal for a keen home handyman - you could replace the motor or fix this one. It is a Tecumseh brand, but looks like other motors would fit. The chipper itself is a very robust USA made unit.
