A lot of really good points in that letter , some machines are almost impossible to find the correct engines
I find often and some come already refitted that way. I have been told not to fit primer carb setups to older
engines too but for ease of starting its the way to go but that's my thinking but as most know I'm not a reel
mower lover , nice to look at but not my cuppa.

Good one again Jack
p.s. Even the much loved VC's I have found on same models under top covers different greens but
it IS each to their own smile
