My trusty old mower is no longer trusty. It starts OK, and runs for a

of course there is no float chamber, and the fuel system looks
childishly simple. The electrics are so simple - no moving parts except
the magneto - that it's hard to see what could go wrong there either.

What engine is it? Does it have an obvious HP rating or a model number
(model numbers sometimes stamped into the front of the cowling which sits
around the flywheel)

No engine number anywhere.
