Yeah that will be a great help thanks Charlie

Hello
Can you give me some info about the carb: it looks strange to me!

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks Angus, that makes quite an interesting story!! I wish when we moved at work I had room to store all the old leyland and scammell parts books we threw out, there was a bout two pallet fulls of them…….

Thanks ray, that’s narrowed it down quite a bit, I had a feeling it must be 60’s.

The fuel tap on mine is on the bottom of the carb, it’s made as part of the bottom cover to access the float chamber. It’s an Amal carb on it.

Hi Jim,I think your engine might be a G80. I have a Honda F28 tiller and the engine is a G28. Hope this helps.

I never would have thought of that , it’s such a nice job I think I will keep it in place .

I’ve put the clutch back together after a good soak in petrol, its cleaned up nice and I have polished up the drive plates so that should behave .

[vhgmcbuddy]

That was a good find. Looks like all it needs is a bit of a clean up, some new wooden handle-grips and no doubt, a drop of oil on the axle !

What better way to get your Granddaughter to help in the garden.

Try Mike at Tyrefinder. Google him

Any pics of your Atco?? Was this the one from Yorkshire??

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hi Mike

Can’t get to my machine without moving lots of other stuff to see numbers, and no indication in manuals what engine or carb number are. I’ve attached a scan of the carb from the workshop manual, if this doesn’t help let me know, I’ll try and get the Honda moved out next weekend.

Peter
