Does anyone know where to get -
(a) the Z shaped rod (with fine slide-on spring) that actions the choke piston on the B&S Model 80202 carby. BOTH my 45 and Diplomat 430 ones snapped (they are horrible things that need just the right shape to work smoothly), and I made up one for each from hard wire, suitably burred for a spring stop, but they didn't last more than a season before snapping.
(b) original style cutting level winders (each is different) as the ones I have made up are a bit crude;
(c) a grooming option to retro fit behind the front rollers - maybe on the axle bar- so as to rake up the grass blades prior to the cylinder cutting them (as happens with the more sophisticated models);
AND
(d)has anyone ever fitted different 17" cylinders with more blades than the standard 6 (are they available?) and thinner bottom knide blades for closer cut? On checking I see that me Diplomat 430 has a thinnner knife blade(approx 1.5mm)than the Model 45 (approx 2.5-3mm). Was the original?
