It doesn't run, it's probably got 14 year old gas (which, by the way, isn't gas anymore, it's called varnish!), he wants you to get it running for him AND he wants to charge you $1250 for the privilege?!

Also, if the tank is that low, it's probably completely rusted out too, so it'll need reconditioned at a minimum and likely an entirely new gas tank.
