This is me running my Uncle's 1985 (or 86) Power Trim model 150 edger with a 2HP Briggs and Stratton engine. When I first found it, I noticed the governor spring had came off and I showed it to him. He mentioned that could probably be the reason why it was difficult to start and run and I offered to try fixing it.
We got a fresh can of gas for it afterward and I got it running after a few minor carburetor needle adjustments and tested it on his parkway lawn. I quickly made this video after I had edged his parkway.
