Howard bantam

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hi all
This is my first project I am starting its a howard bantam with a villiers 25c/24c engine (unsure at this moment in time)
After a few hrs work I’ve removed the engine and striped it down as it only run for a few seconds then cut out (umm last owner said he had just had it serviced – let’s find out how good the service was carried out)
So here’s where I’m at:
Magneto removed (cleaned and polished 1/4 of the fan is missing)
Pulley removed
Barrel removed (honed and first coat of paint)
Crank cases split (found a nightmare inside bronze seals and springs all in the wrong
Places I’ve got to figure out which way the new ones will fit)
Carb striped (cleaned, dry built up again ready for new gaskets, float and a needle as
it’s a banana)
Exhaust (cleaned and first coat of paint)
So all in all I’d say Stevie wounder could of serviced it better

All comments or advice are appreciated
Jamie
