From discussion with Martin Mansley at Malvern, they also manufactured a unit with two rotovating heads with a gap between them designed for cultivating either side of strawberry plants. Someone I spoke to at the show had one but I cannot remember who.

Hello Peter, Stanfield is somewhat of distance for me so if you could drop the booklet into the post it would be very much appreciated. I am happy to Paypal across a little something for the post if need be. If you txt your name across to 07748 300820 I will txt back my address, rather then just leave it on the forum, as I have just had a spam “Hi, my name is Monica” type email from the site.

Note to forum moderator (Charlie) – please delete member “weah” from the forum. It don’t need foreign offers of friendship, thanks

[vhgmcbuddy]

Yes, but his email is up the duff ATM and the contact form is basically a redirect to that…

The “slit” is fine but unfortunately Villiers don’t provide an adjacent mark to line it up to. It’s just another judgement by eye – and is the engine sitting truly vertical anyway?!
Fixing tdc by eye or even with a dial gauge has its inaccuracies; the only really accurate way is the positive stop and timing disk method but, as has already been said, that requires a a BTDC figure in degrees, however few manufacturers provide that. Unfortunately extrapolating that from the commonly provided linear measurement requires knowledge of the centre to centre length of the connecting rod – not something that is usually readily available !
When all is said and done, on “our type of engines” a little care using the manufacturer’s data a the Mk1 eyeball is all that’s needed to achieve a satisfactory result – and maybe a couple of shots at getting it right !

Some Villiers engines I have had,especially the 2-stroke models like MK25C,have a “slit” or a mark on the end of the crankshaft at the flywheel end so you can visually set the crankshaft at the 12 o clock position and hence the piston will then be at TDC.The MK15HS 4 stroke engine I mentioned above has no “slit” mark though.
As already mentioned a rebore makes no difference to ignition timing settings.
