It is about 18 years old. I used it for 3 years and it has been in storage for 15 but kept very well. A friend wanted to use it and we pulled it out and he cleaned the filter and some other things and said it works nicely and starts right up. Unfortunately I can't find work anywhere and I have to sell it to pay my storage units. it cost close to 700 originally. the bar oil cap is worn off a little.
