can anyone run a serial number for me?

Well it doesn't look in bad condition. Check out the top end, carb refurb, check the clutch drum and springs, pressure and vac check and should cut your firewood. It will be 1977 - circa 1987.....so only some 40 years old!

Got it second hand the other week, the part numbers are all 1118 but didnae think that accounted for the serial number. It needs some work like and I'm a novice. Would really appreciate some guidance here and there if any of yous can spare

I think we've got one at the shop at moment. I will have a look to see if the s/n is something similar. Looking at the parts diagram a lot of parts are 1118. What parts do you need?

Need a carb cover and sprocket cover. Not sure if I need a new piston and cylinder, took the cylinder off to check the piston, put it back on and now the pull of the pull cord is stiff

Did you keep the rings on the locating pin on the piston, did the cylinder go back easily ?

The cylinder went back on easy enough with being gentle doing it but the rings expanded when the cylinder came off, they didn't dismount and actually come off so tryna get em back on under the pins was a ballache. Maybe not on proper

edit,

although I’ve just noticed the link that spud gave earlier. Has the same file at the bottom of the page before the pic.

 

 

and I could be wrong, I thought serial numbers starting with numbers equaled to where they were manufactured.

1 eu/ Germany

2 USA

3 Brazil

and I can’t remember if there was a 4
