David, the fuel mixture should be 16:1 recommended oils were Castrol two stroke self mixing 30, Castrol XL etc.
Before getting a new exhaust have you checked there is a spark at the plug and that fuel is getting to cylinder?

Dave, is that the one that was advertised in The Cultivator?

Thank you, I wonder if they have any of the old records, I will enquire.

The depth bar is made up of several components, the bar, a locking pin, the operating pedal and a spring. From your photos I can see the bar and pin are missing. I have copied the illustration from the owners manual which shows how the depth adjuster fits. Please let me know if you require further information or assistance, I have manuals and parts lists for most Monro Tiller machines.

hd trust, one problem with this engine is it in pieces and not associated with any mower parts. What is needed is engine manual.

I believe it could be a Farmers Boy, see my post about same machine at https://vhgmc.co.uk/forums/topic/unidentified-rotavator/
Another possibility which I have not had confirmed is Emery.
