Hi Paul and all
She started a treat and runs beautifully, I'm a big fan of the Kirby Lauson's, the 4 stroke equivalent of the Victa 2 stroke in my opinion. Next I installed the starter drum kindly sent from jack, installed the original impulse starter and it all works as the manufacturer intended. Great little project to get her going again and very rewarding seeing it come back to life after a long rest. Many thanks to all contributors for the assistance.
cheers
