john-e-w replied to the topic howard bantam flywheel issue in the forum Pedestrian operated machines 3 months, 1 week ago
Part No 168 looks like a Woodruf key – lucky you as it should mean that the timing is pre-set. I would guess that it would require two bolts screwed through the flywheel to push the flywheel off the shaft. From experience it is absolutely no point in trying to prize the flywheel off from the edges as that will either break the flywheel or…[Read more]

Thanks for all your help – it is now working.
So just for information:- the feed to the carb (in my case the small dia tube) goes to the lower brass pipe and the overflow which in my case was the larger dia pipe (return to the tank) goes to the top tube. Its not helped that both brass tubes are the same diameter although the neoprene pipes are…[Read more]

When I prime it the fuel seems to go into the carb, it certainly doesn’t run everywhere. I don’t know about the diaphragm as I didn’t strip the carb down, just pushed the hoses onto the brass tubes. I didn’t notice any notches, but I will have a look tomorrow – as far as I can remember both tubes were smooth. I’m pretty sure there are no kinks in…[Read more]

I must be getting old – I have just replaced the fuel pipes on my leaf blower – the original feeder pipe had a filter attached to the end in the fuel tank and every time I tried to put it back on, the pipe split – so I fitted new ones. I have touched nothing else, but now the machine refuses to fire up let alone run. The question is – have I got…[Read more]

Hi Charlie – worked like magic – only a slight “pop”. For somebody that has never fitted a tyre to a Mk3, you certainly provided the wherewithal to do it. Took about an hour to do both tyres. Only point to bear in mind is that you have to keep your wits about you to make sure the tyre is fitted in the right direction.
Do you have any tweaks…[Read more]

Has anybody changed the tyres on a Monro Mk3, or removed them to repair a puncture? If so how did you get them back on the split rims again? Mine were a fight to remove, but I put that down to the rusty condition they were in. Unlike other split rims I have come across, these are aprox 95/5 (with the majority of the tyre on the 95% half of the…[Read more]

When splitting/reassembling split rims (on rotavators) should you have “some” air in the tube to prevent the tube from being pinched between the two halves?

Sorry pics should have been supplied but battery was flat on my camera – so here they are now.
Wristpin – I have the same booklet and I read it as the Mk10 & Mk12 have the AB10 or Type V. The Mk15 service manual indicates that an S12 carb is fitted to rotavators. However, thanks for your help and I will now try George at villiersparts to see…[Read more] -

Hi Guys – I have recently purchased a Mk3 MonroeTiller with a Villiers Mk15 engine and I’m attempting to refurbish it. The first thing I have to do is replace all the cables – not too much of a problem until I looked at the carburetor – Unfortunately it is missing it’s needle. Now trying to find the right carburetor and matching it to a needle…[Read more]
