Thank you Gadge...noted...except that there was no washer under the starter cup....just the nut.
I have honed the points on a Very Fine Arkansas Ezy Lap Diamond stone and both surfaces are square and flat now.
The 32 strand HT lead is fitted and screwed in tight on the 'self tapper' spike. The tab is now bent back up in it's original position and all looks to be ok.
I have given the inside surface of the flywheel a brief going over with 2000 grade wet and dry...just to clean up any nicks or burrs etc. And placed a small daub of Inox Grease on the Points Pole as well.
Whilst at it, I decided to pull the head and cylinder assy barrel off and have a gander. The cylinder walls have a bit of rust pitting ( the mower was on the kerb with no spark plug) so I think I'll get an O/S Piston and Ring set and give the bore a hone whilst I'm at it. The Gudgeon Pin was firmly in place with almost zero play...same as the Crank bearing in the Conrod Big End.
Any clues as to the best place to get a Piston and Ring set with Gudgeon pin and clips, Head Gasket and Barrel Gasket too?
Oh...before I forget...where does the spring steel 'Coil Wedge' clip go...I'm thinking it goes between the Coil Assy and the Stator plate to maintain tension on the coil assy so it stays at the adjusted distance from the inner surface of the flywheel????
Cheers
Gazza
