Also need more members to let me know what models of SIMAR they are bringing.

Fuel / oil mix should be 6% oil.

You may need larger wheels, the photo of 35 with plough shows pneumatic tyres fitted. The 56 also has pnematics when ploughing.

I have data sheet with exploded parts diagram for the WICO A if you need one.

I never use the timing marks on Villiers engines. I always set timing by setting piston at correct position eg 1/8″ BTDC for a MK15, then set flywheel so points are just opening. Checking several times during tightening of flywheel to make sure it has not moved.

[charlie]

Gearbox oil should be straight 140 eg Morris Oils AG140.

I will be there with club stand, including a few push mowers and one or two other smaller items. Jim is bringing club shop.

Note, this event is only open to paid up club members, it is not open to the general public.

The secret to stopping flywheel slip is degrease and clean both parts of taper then tighten flywheel properly. Villiers supplied a special ring spanner for this with a large lump on the end so it could be hit with a hammer.

Valuations are always difficult due to so many variables, such as condition and even location. Options include our own club magazine, e bay, mainstream magazines eg Tractor & Machinery or auctions such as those held at Tractor World show.

Steve could you add a photo or two please, it will help with identifying your mower.

[charlie]

Have you tried your local garden machinery repairer? Have a look at Garfitts they do a huge range of parts.

[charlie]

I suggested that in a previous topic about this engine.

[charlie]

It would be logical to use an off the shelf item when manufacturing these machines rather than have a bespoke item made. If it is Morris Minor it should be easily sourced and not too expensive.

Pete, have you tried Meetens?
