    Jim glad to hear you managed to get the flywheel off. The Villiers coils do have a reputation for failing. If replacing the coil I would recommend spending the extra and also replace the points and condenser you will then be sure of a good spark. Corrosion between backplate and various components bolted to it can also be a problem as this is the way they are earthed.

    Welcome to the forum. No spark may just be dirty points which can be accessed through the webs of the flywheel. The starter pulley is held on by either two bolts or a central bolt which screws into the end of the flywheel bolt which is a right hand thread and is a special bolt that after initial loosening will go tight again as it starts to pull flywheel off. I only have details of the 25C fitted to the Allen Scythe which may differ slightly. For piston rings and other spares try Meetens.

    Parts for the magneto are obtainable from a number of suppliers eg Villiersparts or magneto-ignition (took over from Independent Ignition) these are just a couple there are others.
    The WICO part numbers are 06401 contact set, 06400 condenser set and X2089 breaker box cover unit. The WICO A576BZ was standard equipment on JAP 4/2, 5 & 6.

    We use a sonic tank at work for cleaning ceramic rollers used in the print process, the tank is long enough for them and they are placed on a mechanism that rotates them in the tank. Not suitable for ali as the solution is caustic.

    Bish welcome to the forum.
    Stuart whilst having the engine on my SIMAR 11 rebuilt it had new roller bearing for the bog end made and a new crank pin turned up. The work was carried out by Cox & Turner, it might be worth contacting them to ask where they got the bearing made. It would be possible to have a new con rod machined out of a solid billet.

    Steve that sounds a sensible approach, get them clean then let them develop a natural old look.
