Not much help I know , but it’s quite an early one , as it has the 11C engine fitted.

Always check floats in COLD water , as much as I hate the modern world , ultrasonic cleaners are the way to go , they will clear carbs that no amount of compressed air will ever do.
Meetens are sadly no longer with us , Paul Childs(the leading man on Villiers/JAP on this planet) sold the buisness quite some time ago , L&S engineers bought the…[Read more] -

Angus , personally I would stick to the corks , I try to make a habit of regularly starting my machines around every three weeks ,and run them for a couple of minutes. I find this keeps your corks OK. The downfall of this is of course remembering to keep the habit up.The alternative is to run all the fuel out of tank and carb , then remove the…[Read more]

Sadly that’s the way of the modern world , if it isn’t on the computer the majority don’t want to know , they won’t even open a box or package to give you measurements , so frustrating , as I’m finding out trying to source air filters.

It seems you have got it sorted , have you tried Briggsbits , I always find them most helpful , and assuming all your parts are original , with original cowling and correct numbers stamped , they will sort you out with the correct spring.

Engine wise manuals are usually available on the well known auction site. For engine spares (Villiers Mk10) George at Villiersparts or L&S Engineers both hold quite a few spares.

Peter , a couple of things…….. Firstly glad you have joined us and a warm welcome.
Secondly , looking at your first photo , it appears someone in the past has had the cylinder head off and put it back incorrectly , the cooling fins should be the opposite to what’s in the picture , in order for the air to run through them, I hope I’m making…[Read more] -

You have a JAP80 , in image three you will see three threaded holes , you will need to make up a puller using these three holes , on no account try to remove it using a puller on the outside edge of the flywheel , as you run a great risk of splitting the flywheel.It’s on a taper , and once you have made a suitable puller , it should pop off…[Read more]

Yes getting them running as well as can be sounds fine. I’m well aware you are a great distance from me(I’m in Norfolk) , but on older machines some clumsy courier is the last thing you want. If it is at all possible to bring them to me , I can certainly help.

Do you have any idea what is wrong with them , take in mind parts thesedays are becoming very expensive, with that in mind my suggestion would be just getting them into reasonable running order.
