It was in pretty good shape when I got it, really. The belt it came with was loose, so I ordered a tune-up kit from FWs dot com and replaced it with one from them. Replaced the foot pedal with one from Amazon. Oiled everything and greased the motor.
I have a box going to Matt D'Azzo. Think I should send this motor, too? I think I might try unthreading it and running the motor a bit to see if it just needs to heat up and melt the grease into wherever it goes. And if that doesn't work, send it to Matt.
By the way, did you notice the decals? They are just about perfect. Considering this was an auction, I got really lucky.
