All i can say at the moment is its a 120 .and the rotors engage by a central push and pull knob.They both have a yellow alloy engine cover.3/18385 is the serial number on a plate on the chassis under the engine.Thanks.

Fuel mix 3/4 pint to 2 gallons of petrol.
Worm wheel gearbox oil EP140
Spark plug gap 0.018″
Points gap 0.014″
The owners manual does not specify plug or belt type or timing setting.

The Bux120 is fixed timing , flywheel is held in place with a cotter type pin/bolt , very similar style as a bycycle crank cotter pin.
