It does need some fettling as all I have done is bolt the stator plate on and fit a set of plugs. It has 3 sets of points and they could probably do with setting properly but I am happy with it so far as it ticks over and sounds pretty healthy for one of these

I forgot the current lawn mower isn't a 2 stroke, the flymo died years ago. We do still have a can of 2stroke for the chainsaw though. It would be nice to run it on Castrol R but with a Bentley to fuel I am not made of money. Not much got done today as I have a poxy T5 transporter in for a clutch. They really are shit almost as bad as the T2
