How many miles on it? Could you hear it run or is it a take home & assemble?

Probably should have mentioned that, No miles on it just broken in, running for about an hour with break in oil. Needs a carb, has a vacuum leak and a carb thats been rebuilt like 3 times. Comes along in a car (so I can hear it run as well)that I will be using for the motor and wheels then swapping my motor and gifting to the wifey.

Thanks!
