Colwood jap engine help needed

[tony71]

Hi everyone well just picked up my 5th machine today lol .its a colwood model a cultivator with jap engine . Its not running so been checking it over and I took the head off but there’s no gasket, so should there be or not . If anyone got a manual and know where I can get parts as the ht lead is rotten and needs replacing as well cheers

Yes , it should have an aluminium head gasket , HT lead is widely available , engine spares wise Meetens should be able to help.
