I’ve been looking at getting an engine for the Hoemate I’m restoring and have managed to find a decent Villiers mk 10. This engine I believe is rated at 1hp and the brockhouse engine that should be fitted is 1-3/4 hp. Would this underpowered engine still work ok in a Hoemate or am I better holding out for a bigger engine?

If you want it original and fitted with the correct 2-stroke “Brockhouse” engine then send me a PM as I have a couple of these engines for spares which I brought for my own Hoemate “just in case they are needed at anytime”.
The Villiers MK10 engine would not be a very suitable replacement.
