The oldish thread below gives a parts listing for the above mower - THANK YOU Cyber Jack. Where would I find a piston assembly p/n 7500-201-704?

I've had this mower for half a century and managed to keep it going. I don't want the good old thing to go to the tip.

TIA

Hi Freddy,

I doubt it will be easy to get your hands on a new piston for an old Pope 2 stroke and probably cost a lot
more than a good second hand engine.

I've bought a few old Pope 2 stroke mowers and the sellers are lucky to get $30. for a complete mower as there
is very little interest in these old mowers.

People can advertise them as much as they like but unless they are like new ,these mowers don't sell for much.

If you look on eBay or start ringing every mower shop you can find, then you may get lucky and find one but
sometimes you just have to get one made from a piston manufacturer like JP Pistons if you don't care about the cost.

Cheers
Max.

Gee, thanks Max. I see they have the piston listed. I'll contact them.

JPO371 Pope 125cc 1 54 2.1250 1.1810 2.5620 2 x 3/32" 0 0.5000 P C5 0.8750 1A flat top

Unbelievable!!! JP Pistons have oversize piston assemblies in stock - 0.020" & 0.040" for $100 plus postage.

I finally got back to the old Pope yesdy to get it back together and going. Thanks again Max.

Hi Freddy,

This Pope should last another 50 years now ,except by then there will be Electric Sheep
cutting the grass.




Cheers
Max.

ha ha ha.. Yeah, one of them would be nice. It takes a coupla days to get over the aches & pains of pushing the old Pope round the yard for half an hour, but I'd hafta get my grandson to programme it - or do the mowing for me, but he can't stop long enuff from doing that gaming thing they all seem so addicted to these days.
