An observation... That bracket securing the starter cable should be on the top starter motor bolt, rather than under the head stud... :thumbs:

Hope this helps see the photos as a guide to sussing the engine along with the other bloggs on here
The 948 of mone has been modded to take a screw cannister but the original still is also fitted in that vertical position. This is similar to the 1098 too

The 803 is a screw in filter coming straight off the block no extended housing. If it has this then an 803. The actual zenith type carb could also assist which type is on there

There is a mod kit for the 803 to take the later 948 screw filter so just beware of that
