    The mowers with a Ali body.. Its a special Ali, we get a extra, near 50% for them. Ie $2-Kg rather than $1.40Kg for normal Ali.

    If it runs, but badly, loosen the big nut on the flywheel and move it abit on the shaft, set it in the middle of the 'wiggle' and retighten the flywheel nut.
    Often if someones hit something with the mower, the flywheel moves a bit on its woodruff key, putting the timing out.

    The other problem I find is the valves leak, needs a valve grind.



    The wheels are worth money too..
