Cheers Andy that’s great many thanks.

Thanks for trying to help Charlie.
I have known this machine from new, as it belongs to my local allotment club.
It is as orginal and has never been modified, but noboby seems to have seen this type of pull start. I think I may have asked Meetens in the past with no luck.
I keep hoping to find a second Japc80 that has one on.
The engine, although 60 y.0 has never been run for long periods or had heavy use so it is generally in good nick. I estimate it has done no more than the equivalent of 200 miles in its life.

Hi all, Need some help, now would this engine be a Mk 25c because it seems to have a different cowling to my other two ?.

Yes Joe here is a picture of the one that goes to birdingbury country fair each year we have both seen this one,

I am sorry to report strawberries and steam has come to an end. I did not know prior to the show but was told at our wash out meeting a few weeks after. Due to the shows growth and sucess new toilets would be required a modern beer tent rather than the old army tent more stewarts The list goes on and on.Anybody that helps produce a show will know the headache it can be and the main organisers are not in the first flush of youth so they have decided to stop on a high. We were thanked for all our hard work over the years.The size and quality of the show was down to people like yourselves So thanks again to all who supported us and i will let people know if anything changes.

Thanks for the info so far but neither flywheel has any markings but I have to remove both to check points, the date stamp may be on the inside somewhere. Are there any electronic modules for any of these engines as both machines will be working on a regular basis?

[vhgmcbuddy]

hi all, now that i vegi-junior and i have settled in back home from a very busy weekend at biddenden tractorfest i would like to thank everyone for coming and help make the horticultural section truly amazing with 92 exhibits !!!. also the great effort to those who turned the old manure site into a newly seeded plot for the land owner who was most greatful and has already introduced me to next years working area! which is even bigger. this year was so much bigger than last year and quite a challenge for me to put this section together as this was only my second attempt at organising a show section, with this in mind i would like to thank steve d and paul mackellow for their help and support building up to and during the show. last but not least i would like to thank veg-junior for being teaboy, runner and entertainer even after his clifford spat out a starting handle and fixed him right on the chin!.congratulations to rob farmer who won the first “oily rag trophy” with his wrigley display.
oh and andy frost deserves a special thank you, after a long day at work he still made it on friday evening after being stuck on the a12 in essex for what must of felt like a lifetime.
again thank you to all involved

Hi, I cant help you with the serial numbers but the date of the engine is usually stamped on the outer edge of Villiers flywheels.
