Twinsport

Greetings from Denmark!
 
After messing around with engines and stuff most of my life, I decided that now was the time for a Tiny Tiger.
 
Although my main interest is vintage motorcycles (50 years old or more), I do a little in generators as well. My pride is this WW2 Zündapp KS 600 generator, but to be honest, it's not very handy:
 

 
So now it's joined by this one:
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Being a novice in these small jewels, I have a lot of questions, but few answers.
 
I will tear it down and clean it up. I will keep the original condition, but will replace gaskets, seals, diaphrams spark plug etc., so the main concern is getting parts.
 
I have figured out that replacement diaphrams are available, but have forgot who the supplier is. Then there is seals and gaskets. Are these available anywhere?
 
Can you say anything from the numbers? The engine number is 034616 and the serial number on the generator is 23409. Does these numbers say anything on the build-year?
 
The gas tank is cracked, possibly after a drop so I have to weld that. It might have happened early, as both the piston and the spark plug is shiny and without any carbon build-up. The cross hatch pattern is also clearly visible in the cylinder, so my hope is that the rebuild will be easy.
 
So guys - meet the new chap from Denmark :-)
