Jamesl,
Can you put up or PM a picture on the board so that I can see the motor. What I am looking for is dust collection around the bottom seal and around the join in the crankcase plus where the cylinder bolts to the casing.
You could have a leaking top or bottom seal. If it is the top seal the machine will rev high and if it is the bottom seal it will be hard to start.
The starter cup on the flwheel is the nut molded into it? If not I can supply or you can get from your local mower shop but you will also need to replace the pawls that grip onto the cup.
The tap cork I have in stock for that machine.
As to the tank you can only get second hand. I should be able to locate one.
Please explain how the machine runs as I need this info to give you correct answer.
