Atco Balmoral 14
I have found one of these in reasonable condition but the spark plug cap is perished. The machine has been unused for a few years but otherwise looks ok. Are these available separately from the coil assembly and are the air filters available? I would like to get it up and running as it came with a useful scarifying cassette
many thanks as always to the very helpful members and I hope the Balmoral counts as an old lawnmower!

You can pick the starter apart and clean it but as has been suggested , pattern replacement units are relatively inexpensive and save a bit of hassle.
