It starts and runs reliably after servicing carb and ignition, and I get loads more cut in the same time I was putting in before.

You can make throttle cables etc using parts from motorcycle parts suppliers, I have used Feked.com in the past. The Mower Centre in Hailsham may be able to do this for you.
The only source of tines is from a scrap machine, which type do you need?
You may be able to get carb and exhaust from Villiersparts. -

Or is there an alternative I could use or adapt?
