Haha thanks Jack and well spotted.

As soon as I ran into a problem, I would look at the time and see it was already past 5pm and would grab a 'cruiser' to help me problem solve. Turns out it worked a treat. The forum has been fantastic and has been a bit of a safety net to be honest. I was worried I would be out of my depth, but I now know the motor and mower parts quite well. Whenever I have run into trouble, I've been given great advice and I really appreciate the patience exercised by members and mods. I've learned a lot throughout this process and I think that is probably my favourite part - the fact that I now know about this machine and could service the motor myself. I never thought I'd be able to do that, so thank you !

I have at least one more mower to rebuild, so I'll remain active on here, but I really did want to pass on my thanks, especially to Bonnar Bloke.
