    James , best to follow Charlies links , a picture would probably explain matters clearer, or even better post us a pic of your machine.

    The rotors on a 220 are centre driven , and side driven on the Bantam , both share almost identical handle bar systems.

    I would go for Miller , in which case they have long been obsolete.

    I also looked at it at Stanfield , for me the jury is still out deciding whether it’s an original production machine , a prototype , or something that has been very well “home engineered”
    Personally , I’m leaning toward the latter two of my thoughts , the hydraulic pump , and certainly the pipe work , hardly seem man enough for the machine , I just couldn’t imagine pipe of that diameter permitting enough flow , and this coupled to a very small pump , with no form of cooling the oil.
    I , stand to be corrected over this , and really hope some concrete news turns up.

    Take the coil to your local(reputeable) garden machinery dealer , he should have a purpose built ignition tester , have it tested and go from there.
    Coils simply cannot be tested properly with a multimeter.
    My money is , and always has been a duff coil.

    You say you have done a “strip and rebuild” of the magneto , but have you actually had the coil and condenser properly tested , spinning it with a drill will not directly identify your problem.

    Have you still got the ID plate , it should be on the inside channel of the handlebars giving model and serial number.

    If I can make it , I’ll probably bring one of my 700s.

    The model L brings back fond memories for me , my father purchased one new in 1945 , and I was still using it until the 1970s , the twinport 25A makes a beautiful noise when under a good load.

    Are you 100% CERTAIN that your magneto is all correct

    I can only echo Wristpins words , Meetens are by far and away the best for anything Villiers , Paul Childs knowledge of Villiers is simply astounding.
