I managed to fit a new impellor and now I cannot re-fix the top of the gear change. It appears to be hopelessly out of reach somewhere under the lower carb. I can't even see where it goes. Any advice please.

The year would help. Many times you can hold the shift rod with a long pair of needle nose below the cowling and move it a little so that you can slide the shaft back towards you to engage the pin. Removing starter may help also. Sometimes they go right together, and some times they are like an ex.
