Cheers Deejay & Grumpy,
I started her up again this morning, but the motor died on me after about 10 seconds, and didn't want to start again. I also managed to tear the starter rope, putting it back together was a very tedious task with that wound-up spring inside.
I have bought some WD-40 de-greaser instead for the initial cleanup.
I followed your youtube video to disassemble the cylinder reel and bedknife. Very quick and easy. Thanks for that.
More pics of my progress to come.
