I can only say what I do John, If you right click on the video before you have started it, then select copy short cut, then right click again and paste directly here. You can practice this by copying and pasting short cut in an email and sending to your self. If you go to sent mail click on the link it should work. Hope this don’t confuse you further, I get my moments on the laptop as well.

Thanks, All the best to you as well.

A bit of a long shot but in the absence of manufacturer data you just might get hydraulic oil info from the technical department of one of the oil companies. One of the smaller companies such as Morris Lubricants (my personal favourite for helpfulness) may have something in their archives.

Then tackled the seized starter gear….. Managed to get it apart, to find the peg which engages the gear, but allows the kick start to return was in 2 pieces. Found a stainless steel bolt the same diameter, ground and filed the head down to match the broken piece, then cut to length. Its not the prettiest part, but it works…..

Hi Andy thanks for clearing that up for me as who ever split these crankcases last put the two flat bronze glands next to the crank web and not against the cases
Also you say fit new ones with new springs I have looked on villiersservices.co.uk and villiers parts.co.uk and do not seam to see them, also Google did not help. Do you recommend any where or is it a case of calling in the new year to the said company’s

sounds like an idea for another wheelhorse project “amphibious wheelhorse” could be called a “seahorse”

Think that County beat you to that name with the one that crossed the Channel, fancy the challenge ?
