    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.

    Peter , I’ve seen three Simar ploughs , and they have all been like yours. I suspect it was more Monro , rather than actual Simar , as the plough is practically identical to the ones used on Rowtracs.
    The pic Charlie has kindly put up , is the only one I,ve seen with that type of hitch.

    From the pics , that looks like an AC120 engine from a Howard Bantam , which would explain the starter pulley issue.
    I very much doubt the wheel weights would fit inside your 350 wheels.

    From very distant memory , that engine has battery and coil ignition.

    Grand job, I’d forgot about that.
