Excellent!!!... thankyou for that info, i'll endeavor to give it a cleanup on the weekend, this data plate that should be near/on the motor i presume will give me model/identification?...i haven't seen any i.d. on it yet, unless it's under the covers....... forgot to mention the right lever has a smaller lever inside it with a (not factory, i'm guessing) nut and bolt in it, to act as a locking device? And a friend pointed out that the plate over the spark plug is to earth it, thus turning off the motor?.........makes sense but that's a new one on me!!
