ive unfortunatly had to scrap 1 of the mowers ive done what you want to do the fly wheel has a bolt behine the bearings and its held on a short taperd shaft so its realy difficult to fit a pully and they also have to run alot faster to keep running other wise they stall

@macfletcherhotmail thats pretty neat, i like the engine, i am going to remove the large flywheel where the clutch was and put a pulley in its place at some point. first i have to fix the carberator though. the carberator doesnt work well. the float isnt metering the fuel correctly and the carberator floods the engine if you leave the fuel on. ill fix it sooner or later..

@1944johndeerel its funny that i have got mine out and running and mine cept flooding all i did was take the top of the float chamber and see if it still flooded and were the needle sat i oiled it and that seems to have sorted it for now some times it stops flooding if you tap the float camber hope this helps : )

Needle valves always a problem on these.
