The problem there is that people let stuff sit and just go to he!!, or run it til it drops. In either case to the machine gets to the point that it takes a carb kit, plugs, points, tires, etc, etc just to get it to the point of being usable again. If the old thing had been maintained properly then it would have needed points 10 years ago, a carb kit 5 years ago, tires a year ago, plugs today, etc. I exagerate on the time's a bit, but you get the point. Basically though the expense is spread out over a period of time and doesn't appear to be that great given the time frame involved and the use gotten out of the machine over that period of time.
The difference in that machine and the majority of machines made nowdays is that the older machine will be around long enough to need points, tires, recoil rope, etc, etc. On the other hand many new machines are designed to be thrown away and replaced before it needs anything in the form of maintenance. Granted there are still quality products being made and designed to be able to maintain, but they are getting few and far between.
