I have no spark on a petrol Southern Cross KXD-2 mower that I am doing up. So I pulled the flywheel and took the electrics to a relative of mine to have a look at. He tested the condensor and said it wasn't working. Then when I was away he ground off the bottom of the condensor so he could pull it out, and of course all of the numbers stamped on the bottom got ground off too! mad

It was a German-made condensor, but that is all I know. I can't seem to find the number in the manual. I took it to a local auto-electrician who tells me a Bosch GB503 should work, even though these are designed for Holden cars. He is also not sure of the fit, as they have to sit tightly in the sleeve in order to make a connection.

Can anybody please suggest the most suitable replacement condensor for the Southern Cross KXD-2?
