Thats been messed with.

Its got a full crank decomp valve in it.

I think the later V40's are chinese.

I think the V35's were all aussie.

Heres a chinese cylinder next to an aussie one.

I wouldnt be too worried, just sort it out and cut the grass.
The tank is going to have to come off that as with the carb like that i would say you will need to pull it off and clean it out. new inlet O-rings, new O-ring under the pull starter.

Check it for spark before you do anything.
