Think twice if you're offered a seized small engine. If it's been sitting around a few months the petrol will have evaporated leaving gum everywhere, and you know how carburettors love goo.
So factor in a lot of cleaning of the crank etc, plus potentially a new carb. An ultrasonic bath might do it.
I got away without a bath, but it took 2 thorough cleans, and obviously I needed a rebuild kit.
All original parts. About 80€ and ~8 hours (strip + rebuild) to fix a 300€ strimmer.
