Tim Vibert in Wagaratta,
Russell Altmann in Stawell should/could have fuel pump and plugs for the B60.
Could be Carby issues, Tim did have some NOS of those.
Check that the cold start lever on the carby goes all the way back when the "Choke" is pushed in. My Humber's sticks and it runs like you describe.
Oiling the 2 speed Generator won't make the engine run any better, that is only to lubricate it on start up if it has sat for a while. If it is not charging it will probably be the points in the generator panel, which do tend to get a varnish like coating on them
Clean distributor Points and a new condenser will not do any harm.
You may have visited Doug Grevilles site (He is also a member here) which has heaps of Ferret info:

Just checked Tim's site
http://www.timvibert.com.au/index.ph...inktext=Ferret

Has plugs in stock

Lifting the engine means you get all the tools that have been dropped since last time...
Good Luck.
Rich.
