Thanks Norm, I gave the mower another run today ,I've converted all my old cars to electronic ignition since 1995 even if
I had to make a distributor fit from another model so I may as well convert all the old mowers .

The Pope starts first time every time, the only problem now is stopping the motor because I didn't put a kill
switch in and with the slide in the carby bottomed out it still takes about 10 seconds to stop.


Cheers
Max.
