Hi there!
I have been gleaning info from the sit for the past week or so because of my recent SB45 purchase. I hope to get the Scottie running and cutting sweetly before too long. It needs a bit of tlc and I'm hoping to get some help or advice as needed from all you lads and lassies who know these things like the back of your hands.

I don't know the history of my machine which cost me the princely sum of $100, but it appears to have been neglected. The guy who sold it to me said it hadn't been used for about 3 years. I have drained the old (like runny BBO sauce!) oil and replaced it with new; plus a new cj8 plug and air filter to replace the crumbling one. It sprang to life on the 4th pull but the throttle cable doesn't seem to have much effect (Vacu Jet carby problems?) It bogs down and dies easily at any attempt to cut grass.

Can someone point me to a good workshop or travelling service outfit that can sharpen things up please? Adelaid hills repairers would be good though I could take it to Adelaide if need be.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics:
