If you’ve got the old one , it’s a simple job to make one up , there are plenty of suppliers who sell the inner and outer cables.

Gib head keys are tapered , the idea , provided an amateur hasn’t been at it , is to knock the hub on further , heat may be needed , once you have moved the hub , the key should release relatively easily.
The difficult part may be if someone in the past has assembled it and pushed the hub fully on before tapping the key in.

That is Howards own AC120 engine.

We’ll need a photo to be able to tell you.

I think George at villiersparts has them.

[andyfrost]

Yes , on the later ones.

I’m confused now , it’s gone from “running fine” , to spitting back. Firstly get your carb ultrasonically cleaned , and go from there.

If it was running fine , then highly unlikely you will need carb parts , yes parts are hard to find , but if you look after your machine , it should see your lifetime out……they’re that well built.

Have you tried George at villiersparts.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

It’s certainly a MK20 or 25 , it should be stamped on the cowling ID plate.

Mine arrived OK today , very interesting reading , a HUGE well done to all involved.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Yes , it’s worth a call , EG COLES in Dorset used to do some Kubota spares ,so maybe they’re worth a call also , as well as Small Plant and Garden Spares.

[andyfrost]

Have you tried L$S Engineers.

I think you’ll find the HS40 engine is an Aspera.
