Well I was a year off on the engine but close

It's an 8 cubic inch (127cc) with a pulsa-jet carb and from your pics it looks like it has the linkage type choke that engages when you pull the throttle control all the way back. Here's some specs..

You can get the engine decals with the correct white/silver/red/black on a clear background from the US via ebay and they're nice quality. I'm getting some numbers together to get some made locally but we're a couple of months off yet.
Making a reel from scratch is a job that requires specialist equipment in forming the twist of the helix in what is tempered high carbon steel.
have a look at the video here...you can see the blades being formed....
Love this video Darryl!
