Hi Andy, The weight was on the outside of the flywheel, when I first saw it I thought it was the cover to allow access to the points. It had a spring that was pushing on a screw that seemed to serve no purpose.
The running of the machine is a mystery. The machine runs like on tick over and the speed improves very little when I open the throttle, I have no book for this engine, looks like the 147cc and I first set the points at 3/16″ TDC but changed to 1/8″ because of backfires and I couldn’t start it. I would be happy if the throttle made a noticeable difference.

Hi
The key will have to be machined (filed) to a boot shape as the keyway on the flywheel is only about 3/16 deep I will post a few photos when completed I have another 16h that has never been used it is a bit older than the one I am working on at the moment.it may have a differant magneto and set up I will see, just don’t want to open it up whilst the workshop is so full
Thanks for the intreast and information.

Thank for the reply
That was my first thought but the shaft seems cleen no scores or bruses. The flywheel bore also looks cleen I will get my camera out and take a few better photographs the present ones are a not so clear.

Thanks for the reply yes the cam is on the flywheel boss I do know that villers made a model which was also a 16h and a copy of the j.a.p so perhaps it is so the j.a.p 16h engine was fitted to a couple of small motorcycles in the late 50s early 60s perhaps the keyway was used on these the crankshaft I am told was universal so who knows.
thank you all for your help I will update on the progress.

Thanks for the reply Andy I wonder if there has been a repair at sometime and the keyway ommited do you know off hand the key dia and if it is a steel one or alloy any information would be appreciated.

Thanks for reply the compression tool used by my photo editor could not convert mobile jpeg and sorted them as tiffs the photo app I downloaded for win 10 seemed to have been the problem I managed to do it in the end on a previous post concerning a landmaster 150 mag.
Thanks again Regards Len

Seems that the compression tool is not recognised sorry for the ramble
