Hi all
I currently mow with a Scott Bonnar 45 20" cut, but I have just stumbled across a Scott Bonnar Queens 24" that I have gotten my hands on.
It looks like it has the original Villiers engine (Mark 25RG). I am unable to start the engine as the ignition wire has been ripped from the coil.
The engine looks rough with a home made muffler and air filter. I have been told that it was running prior to the ignition lead being ripped off and the mower being put into storage (7 years ago). Motor turns over ok using the crank lever.
The rest of the mower is in overall good condition and will come up well with some cleaning and servicing.
My dilemma - how hard is it to find parts for this engine? Is it worth fixing (will be a process of elimination). I have had no luck searching so far for an ignition lead/coil
If I was to replace the engine, what should it be? ie B&S 5hp?
Thanks
Andrew
