These rotary valve Pope mowers have a lot of grunt Speedy ,after I put the electronic ignition on my Pope the running Pope mower
will try and spin in a circle if I'm not holding the handle .
Definitely one of the better vintage mowers , if you are after a starter for your mower ,every now and then I see old 4 stroke Clinton
powered Pope mowers that no one seems to want, probably because they have no compression and they sell for $10.to $20 but the
starter will fit the 2 stroke.Just have to keep a look out in online sales etc.
New Pope Mowers give you that get up and Mow Feeling.

Cheers
