Fuel , I would only advise E5, You say you have a spark and that you have ultrasonically cleaned carb , and done a good flush of the tank , on that basis , it should start and run. I’m assuming you have reasonable compression , as exhaust valves have a habit of sticking if left for a period of time.

You appear to have one fitted with the MK 20 Villiers fourstroke , when up and running a very reliable engine

[andyfrost]

Mine arrived today , ROBERT you are doing a sterling job.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Many thanks Charlie.

Charlie , I’ve just paid my renewal , on the page it says “renewal due 2014” , but as far as I’m aware I’ve paid every year since then , and my insurance etc has all come through fine.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Mine too , a really nice tribute to Geoff.

Grahame , sorry was unaware of your sizes , I’ve used the more common sizes on Hondas Briggs etc. , and they work really well.

Andy.

Grahame , crankshaft converters are readily avaiable online.

E5 petrol at a mixture of 20/1 ratio , with a good quality MINERAL twostroke oil is what I run mine on.

From memory there were two different ignition units on the 120 , Miller and Lucas.

You’ve got a real rarity there , I’ve never seen one before.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Charlie , I’m fairly certain it’s soldered directly to the coil.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

You can make your own from a suitable leather fashion belt , I did this with Father-in-laws Plowmate , glued it together with an industrial glue , a little bit of trial and error getting length right , but can assure you it will work well.

I’ve never worked on BCS boxes , all I can say is that ANY wear or play in rotor boxes will result in worn seals , so it’s vital to replace both seals and bearings……..this advice is based on 50yrs of working on Howard rotavators.

Very sad news indeed , I feel Weeley will be a very sombre weekend , above all our thoughts at this time are with those closest to Geoff.
