Welcome to the forum. Asking for help and information is what the forum is intended for, not out and out Wanted adverts though.
Looking on the Pasquali website I see they are part of BCS, have you had a look at BCS spares

Red I have been told is one of the worst colours for fading, what is the colour like on the underside where it has not been exposed to the sunlight?

With the current restrictions on non essential travel it is going to be difficult I should imagine.

Hopefully that will clean up OK.
When checking magneto for cause of no spark make sure the points are good and clean.

There is already a website for All vintage garden machinery This one. Creating another site just means people need to look in numerous places rather than one.

The size of tyre for the Monro Tiller has been obsolete for years. If you have a series 1 or 2 machine you can get away with a modern tyre that is slightly taller. On a series 3 machine the taller tyre fouls the reverse gear housing.
The small Barford Atom and Merry Tiller used the same size tyre and second hand ones do come up on e bay, but they seem to fetch a good price.

Chris, even if you did find an engineering company to make it the cost would be very high. Have you tried Llewellin’s to see if they could make one.

What type of carb is fitted? A photo will help identify it.
Is engine throttle controlled or does it rely on just the governor?
If it has a throttle cable going into top of the carb, there should be an adjuster where the cable enters the carb, there is also usually some adjustment at the throttle lever end.
Is the tick over screw set correctly this prevents the throttle butterfly closing completely, if it has one (depends on type of carb).

The manual I have suggests .020″
