Well guys as hard as I was trying to stay away from the reel mowers, I just couldent leave this one, I have tried to start it but there is a bit of a problem with the dog being a bit worn and also the spring loaded pin that it engages with, I have not looked at the carby or much else yet and seems to have little compression, from what I have been able to find out the parts for these are hard to come by is this correct? The operating manual/parts list is in very very good condition, well I'll put up some pics for you to have a look at and you could give me some advise on it as I know nothing about these (yet)
