Thanks for the info fellas.
I was unsure about which mk the red VC was due to the fact that it had a plain black zip starter, with a plastic bottomed g3 carburetor. By the looks, someone could have painted it and maybe changed the parts with whatever they could have found at the time.
I'm based in the Hunter Valley in NSW and find it pretty hard to find any parts from these mowers whatsoever. It seems that most of them reside in VIC, or atleast the best working examples of these machines. Wish that I lived a bit closer, I would be keen to pick those parts up from Adelaide and see what they have to offer. Do you know if they would post items Pete? Also does anyone know which exact throttle cable & blades would fit a mk II from this site? as I am stuck trying to work out which entry is correct.
Cheers,
Aaron.
