Thanks again for the help Grumpy.
I think my ideas about changing from the original engine came from just getting lazy. The original donk does run well and will keep the mowers originality, it just needs work to present as well as the rest of the machine and I thought I could save a lot of effort by just getting a new one that at least superficially appears like the original.
This mower is being built to work and ease of starting, fuel consumption, etc are important. I thought that a modern engine would be better in theses areas.
