Hi John,
Firstly sorry to hear about your current situation, just do what you can at your pace that's all anyone can ask.
Just a small point of clarification, a Supercut is a Model 17 it's just that the early ones had SC on the ID plate while the later production units were stamped 17 instead of SC.
I finished off the Model 45 today that you sold to the other member on ODK. and now it's purring like a kitten. The throttle cable had me stumped until I quickly worked out it wasn't meant to be attached to the butterfly shaft as it was, as that's the swing arm link from the governor, rather the cable should've been attached to the other side of the carby and attached to the correct linkage. Now it operates the choke as it should (Chokomatic) when the lever is pulled back and shuts the engine down when the lever is pushed fully forward.
Did all the land roll clutch setting up along with all the chain tensions and finally setting the reel.
BTW Who did you get to grind the reel, Steve out at Pooraka ?
The new owner is stoked with it.
Cheers,
BB.
