A bit more progress.

Will have to improve my painting skills if ever I refurbish another mower, apart from a marginal, at best, colour match, I bought an inferior paint. As Mark (electric) pointed out in one of his early rebuilds; "it's only a few more dollars for good paint". Particularly seeing it took two cans, where I'm sure I'd have some left in a single can of good stuff. Some of the old rattle can paints I've had here for many years, (Galmet, Killrust) performed much better.
On top of that, late one evening when carrying the base outside I chipped it, then rushing to paint over the chips, with the cheap paint not covering well, made runs on an otherwise reasonable finish.

Only managed to save one sticker/decal, the 'Super 600' one was peeling and bubbled and the 'belt adjustment' one came off with the masking tape.

Started working on the G4 carby today. Think I've read and saved everything on the forum about them, and as opposed to the LM, but still confused regarding the jet and emulsion tube. Pretty sure the one off the Super was a X breed, but the other two I stripped down I'm quite sure are complete-genuine though none had emulsion tubes.
Things noted: The body of the G4 is longer, it has longer 'legs' on the cam, it has the idle knob and a black poppet valve. Some advice here would be appreciated.
Of the three jets one has a bigger bore, by eye, also the outer spring looked a bigger gauge on that one. Will use this one on the Super.
How important is the gauze filter on the jet?

Would like to know the vintage of the mower, engine number is 304 0388.

Still waiting on a few things, foam spacer for under the filter, foam for the fuel cap. The windrower flap has a split that will have to wait till I visit a friend and his tig, but the thing I am most anxious about is the right muffler, would gladly pay the going rate + postage if anyone has a spare(??)
