    I had the same problem with tyres . I ended up buying 4-10 – 6
    Moto Quad Bike on Ebay. 192817710560 . Not the same size as an original tyre .

    Hi, If you look at Scribd.com/doc/117878257/Villiers Mk15 pdf page 21. Looks like your carb, good breakdown drawing and parts list.

    Hi, The on line book is 1962 at 2 shillings so is later.
    The large general assembly picture of the engine shows the set screw as item 45. EM220 . It should not have changed.
    See if your copy has that picture.

    Regards. Dave

    Hi, The manual shows one other attachment. A countersunk screw at 11 o’clock looking rewards. I thought it would be visable in your photo , it should be hiding behind the LH end of the coil. Might require a right angle screwdriver.
    Good luck ,

    Regards. DaveT.
