Hi there Grumpy, are you able to advise on sourcing the choke lever and spring for the B&S Model 802xx engines which I was seeking in my posts 16925 and 16939? And do you have any helpful info on checking/setting the LENGTH of the governor spring so that the engine runs at the right revs under different loads?

To Deejay thanks for all your reply info. Rover also out of business these days, did not know that. FYI a UK site looks like it is selling "new" looking Rover 17" with B&S engines, but maybe these are seriously well restored units with new model B&S engines??? More importantly, if you click on the See link HERE its photo gallery one pic shows the height adjuster which looks the same as my 45 broken one(and there also looks to be an underside spring which I do not have). As for Diplomat, I guess I will just have to hunt for second hand height knob.
DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY GOOD SOURCES IN QLD OR AUSTRALIA FOR 45 AND DIPLOMAT WRECKS/USED SPARES?
