Thanks HA and Kieth for those links.
Turns out i hav a 1972 model 6202D or 6203D. Both coils have been replaced by previous owner and are working fine, as with the HT leads both have nasty kinks in them and the carbon one is the worst. so i will replace both leads with copper.
Geoff.

May i ask a question as i have a 6hp fisherman model, not sure of its age as the ID plate is missing.
My question is, ive no spark on one of the plugs. Are the HT leads supposed to be carbon or solid copper cores as i have one of each on the engine??

Anybody looking for parts for one of these? No cilinder head, no flywheel tho.most other parts avalible.The tank has its top unsoldered and is now in two parts , I will have to check if its postable in this condition as its no longer a sealed petrol tank ( if you get my meaning.)

Theres one here.

Here's one i did earlier.
Took about 2 mins to do, brushed on the cleaner left 1min with a bit of agitaion with a baint brush, then a few quick rubs with a green scouring pad and wash off.
Sorry for the shadows this was due to the SUN shine, i know you boys up north see so little of it you might ...

Hi all.
Have a look at this stuff, i dont know if its avalible in the UK. Ive used it with a green scouring pad and as long as you take note of the precautions, as you are dealing with mild acid solutions, it works a treat.
When rinsed clean and dry ,the ali is easy to polish up or leave in a matt ...

Hi all.
Where or when did the skeletal bronze bracket come into the equation ?? Mine has this bracket, was it supplied with the mysterious side mount?

Hi oyster .
