Hi Graham,and a big warm welcome to the forum. grin
I bought a Mac 17 in the late 80's, it was a great little light weight trimmer; very reliable, until I (stupidly) lent it to my brother-in-law who used the wrong fuel/oil mix and ruined the engine cry
Best of luck with the parts and I hope she's running sweetly for you soon!!
cheers2
