thanks again guys , the washer is broken but i think i can make a new one easy enough though , yup it hasto come off for a good look as it has no spark . plug lead is badly perished might be the problem ? found an odd little thing up behind the flywheel , looks like it might be a cutout type thing confused . sure is an oldie ! thanks for the tip deejay i'll keep it in mind . still looking into it at the min' . cheers Dave

a few more with it the machine . cant find a brand on the carb without removing it , all stamped on the bottom of the 'bowl but some i found on the engine , on sump BM506 at one end V1277 at the other , on the crankcase i think it's V1292 but not too clear moulded into it behind flywheel so hard to read blush .. ant stamped into flywheel fan which looks like its bolted to the flywheel is 5223967 , make sense to anyone ? flywheel looks mostly brass as is the intake manifold and sundry other parts !!
