Yay, got it running ! Glory be !
Couldn't undo the top nut but seems all my banging and (gentle-ish) bashing must have shaken the bits under the flywheel enough to get a spark. Turning the motor off is just a matter of earthing the wire.
Happy camper ;-))))
Edit - don't need to earth the kill wire to stop the motor. Pulling the throttle lever right back past Cold Start shuts it off.
Done a little mow. Great mower, plenty of power and so light to push. I'm becoming a Victa fan.
