Hello bellarinelawns

Well that's pretty amazing.
For the record, we would love to see some photos of it.

It can't be a 00232, but I'm thinking it is probably a 100232...?
Yellow engines were brought in to AUS. For example, Rover used yellow
engines on their edgers and mowers (Baron)at one point.

Air cleaner - you have a choice:-

A brand new engine for $80 seems quite good.
The carby diaphragm will probably need replacing...?

Hope this helps.
