Should've cleaned it and attempted to start it before buying. That isn't hard. And you would've known it was shot before handing over the money.

You don't even have to take the carb off. A couple shots of starting fluid into the intake while cranking should have at least made it sputter.

taking the carb off, especially on a 2 cylinder engine, is not a 5 minute job, lots of shite including the top cover of the engine has to come off.
but without taking anything apart, a squirt of starter fluid in the air filter opening will make the engine start even if the carb isnt even there. one squirt confirms the engine is fine and will run.
his so called lawnmower expert that went check it out sounds like a complete idiot that knows nothing about lawnmowers. he was probably an auto mechanic if i had to guess
