Hi Again

Well I started to do some work on the kirby engine over the xmas break and had some luck. After degreasing the engine and cleaning the carby I took the points out and cleaned all the connectors and refitted them, put the flywheel back on and to my amazement there was a really good spark. Then I connected an old fuel tank and got the engine to fire. After adjusting the points gap and advancing the timing the engine actually ran really well. I still would like to strip it down and replace the seals and bearings and assume they would be common parts that I should be able to find easily but I would need a set of gaskets. I require a Cowl and the front cover for the air cleaner if anyone can help me out (are they common parts that fit other models?) I would gladly buy them off you. I don't think the exhaust is the original as it has flymow printed on it. I have taken some pictures of the bike and the engine but I took the engine out before I took the photos. If anyone can help me out with any info on this engine that would be great.
Regards
Dean
