Suffolk Colt skip find   
Hope you don't mind me asking about a moving engine?
Well its stationary at the moment so I supose?
A skip find. Rusty and a few bits missing. Well the starter device that 
'must' sit behind the string puller thing. Is not there, so when one pulls 
the string the string recoils back but the 2 ,,,, flippy out 'dogs' have 
nothing for the crank shaft and the finned spinney round thing, that covers 
a set of points, condenser and coil,  to catch on.
Does anyone know where  I can get info, parts and hopefully a book /work 
shop manual for said beasty. I have been told its a 75cc side valve most of 
it looks like cast iron with rust, but with an alleluia cylinder head,
Just what I need to cut the lawn, lots more character then a hover!

Nip round to a lawn mower service workshop (or the local tip on a summer 
weekend) and you'll get one free, or next to free. I've one on the shelf 
that I've had for about 20 years - it's yours if you live near Warrington!
