I have posted in the 4 stroke section but I thought I seek out more info in this forum. I have a Suffolk Iron Foundry mower from the 1950's (thanks Bruce). It is a 16" with all original conponents. The carby seems beyond repair as the idle screw assembly is broken and parts will be difficult to replace. Bruce has supplied the specs etc but any further info/manuals etc that people may or know of have would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ok anyone have a round fuel tank for sale approximately 25cm x 9cm in diameter to suit the above mower?

Stu,
Can you send me a pic of the mower?

Regards,

Bruce

I would but its in pieces at present. Also haven't got a digital camera yet........... I have found everything I need including a head gasket except a fuel tank to suit. I guess anything similar in size would do the trick. The tank I have is beyond repair........ Worse comes to worse I can make up a bracket to suit a square tank off a newer mower; I would prefer to keep it as original as possible. Even the new muffler looks out of place............ Thanks for any input
