So I fitted new points and condenser (I did eventually buy the funky little tool to compress the spring as I found that a bit of a fiddle without, and the wire from the coil is getting shorter where the spring cuts into it), I changed the carb diaphragm and put in a new plug, and bought a new air filter as the old one had disintegrated, and then this evening I put in fresh oil, and gave it a few pulls, and the engine started and ran smoothly. I’m delighted.
Next I need to replace the cutting knives, and tension the drive belt. The front wheels are very wobbly and I should be changing them, or hopefully just their bearings if I can do that.
