If I were looking at a nice cub with all that stuff asking price of $1200 and it didn't run I would want to find out why it didn't before getting into a can of worms. In my past experiance when people say it just needs a "tune up", it really needs a valve job at the very least. It may be rebuilt, but some people use a spray can and call it rebuilt. Some people slap in new rings in egg shaped cylinders or just new gaskets and call it rebuilt. If he doesn't want to get it running himself see if he will let you get it running but make sure you lock in the agreed price before you do get it started just incase he changes his mind when he hears it. You could always charge him for doing the work up front say about $50 for 2 hours worth,and deduct it from his asking price if you decide to take it, and take the money for the work if you don't want it.
