Thanks Max
I will try to get the muffler off and swap out a working plug, may need to make a trip to my favourite shop, (the tip) and see if I can get another coil (only problem with that is I will need to get that mower running first to see if it's any good). Most of what they have there is newer than this one but it's probable that the coil will be the same. A few years back when I had an old Viĺiers reel mower I was trying to get running the bloke who rewound the coil and recharged the magnets gave me a capacitor, it's around here somewhere, if I come across it I will put the points back in and try that.
That will take a few weeks so may be awhile before I report back.
In the mean time if there is anyone in WA who wants a few spare parts and are willing to collect them from City Beach I am your man, at least 3 good wheels. In the back of my mind when I get it running it is not going to be a particularly good mower. The old villiers has become a feature piece for a mate of mine but can't see any one wanting this one. But it would be nice to see it run.
My fishing buddy will be back in a couple of weeks so there may be a change in hobbies.
Thanks for your help with this and I will report back with the final outcome.
Regards
