New to the club
Hi, just joined as I have finally got my Suffolk Colt out of the shed and needed some inspiration on getting it going again. Its not been used for a few years. A strip down of the carb, cleaned and a look on here for the base settings I have managed to cut the grass. It does need a tune up on the carb to get it idling better, but thats another day.

Choose file, upload then don't forget to click the insert button, then save at the bottom, you've probably got a late 50s early 60s colt. Nice mower and my first "old" mower which got me into this great obsession.
Here's the other two photos.

Thanks, I thought it was a Colt due to the smaller size and the tank on top of the engine. Its still a heavy lump. I was given it years ago to take off the engine for a kart project, but as it was just about running, I couldn't strip it.

A MkVII Punch , to be precise . One of my favourite machines. Just needed a handle bar controlled traction clutch to give the Qualcast Commodore a run for its money.
