Hi John,
Thanks for that info regarding the carby and to tell you the truth I'm kinda glad I don't have to change it back to make it original. So why I was given that earlier air cleaner is a bit beyond me as I'm wondering where it came from in the first instance. The mower was given to me from a woman whose father bought it new and used it for years until his death 5 years ago. Another thing that puzzles me is the change of the fuel tank from the original barrel type to the Kieby Lauson unit taken from a Model 45.
Do you by any chance have the original tank and mounting straps that suit the 412 engine available for me to purchase as I would dearly want to put it back to stock as I doubt there would be another Supercut out there that is in a fully original and showroom restored state.
Cheers,
BB
