I can see the hole in the cowl for the hose to go through.Most likely some one has put an old spark plug in to block the hole.You just need to take the cowl off and put a decompresser value in and then run the hose to the carby.

You should be able to get one off pretty much anything from the same time.As long as it fits past the fins on the head.You may even be able to buy a new one.Not sure if Bruce has any.The only thing is it will be a sealed unit unlike the original which were serviceable units.

Im sure that any mower shop in your area would have some second hand decompressors around. Unless they scrapped all their mowers including rare early Victa 18's, (without telling me. Not mentioning any names) Or they might be too lazy to get a 3/4 spanner out and take one off and try and sell you a new one.
Another option would be find one off any older 160cc engine as Blumbly said. You just want to get one that is repairable with clips and not the newer sealed ones (garbage).
If you still have no luck I may be able to help.

I know that most mower shops here don't have older mowers for parts they would prefer just to sell you a new (junky)one.

Yes that is why I get frustrated with other mower shops these days. They just dont care and scrap anything that is not bright victa blue. Maybe I should edit my post and say 'SOME' mower shops keep old parts instead of 'ANY'.
Its very frustrating but true Blumbly. At least we keep old parts at work. If they try to scrap them, I take them home, lol.

I guess there is a couple of reasons why. 1.I guess demand for the older parts isn't very large.So there just storing parts that could sit there for years. 2.It's easier just to order in (If available) and possible make a bit extra on the part.As well as not have to have somewhere to store the parts.

Yeah thats all true. Plus: - Some small shops dont have the room to keep many parts. Space is limited. - There is so many new parts off newer machines that are comming out every year. These parts must be kept in stock because there is customer demand plus contractors need parts installed on same day. So old parts get pushed aside.
When does a customer come in with his vc125 mark II for a service. I would be first to take the job. Since I started at work I have seen one vc mustang. And it got written off.
