The Bux120 is fixed timing , flywheel is held in place with a cotter type pin/bolt , very similar style as a bycycle crank cotter pin.

andyfrost replied to the topic Paint preparation in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Andrew it’s dependant upon how we term original, would you rather have a machine with all it’s correct “original” components with perhaps what some may say has tatty paintwork , or one with pristine paintwork with a host of incorrect parts fitted.
I know which I would rather have , I’ve just purchased another Howard 700 , I bought it because it…[Read more] -

You gents are spot on , it’s a JLO engine , and it DOESN’T have a diaphragm carb , JLO normally sourced their carbs from Bing , plenty of parts for these are available on the continent.

Always check floats in COLD water , as much as I hate the modern world , ultrasonic cleaners are the way to go , they will clear carbs that no amount of compressed air will ever do.

Angus , personally I would stick to the corks , I try to make a habit of regularly starting my machines around every three weeks ,and run them for a couple of minutes. I find this keeps your corks OK. The downfall of this is of course remembering to keep the habit up.The alternative is to run all the fuel out of tank and carb , then remove the…[Read more]

Sadly that’s the way of the modern world , if it isn’t on the computer the majority don’t want to know , they won’t even open a box or package to give you measurements , so frustrating , as I’m finding out trying to source air filters.

It seems you have got it sorted , have you tried Briggsbits , I always find them most helpful , and assuming all your parts are original , with original cowling and correct numbers stamped , they will sort you out with the correct spring.
