Very big Thankyou Andy Frost, that is brilliant! Cheers Martin, hope it stop being quite so flippin painful! Had a kidney stone not long ago, the pain from this is right up there with that………

They all look a bit sad but it was chucking it down with rain when I took the photos which always makes something look worse…

At least they are in dry sheds now !!

Work has been suspended for a few days now, following a mishap with a drill…….
Whilst drilling out the snapped peg which holds the shut off for the fuel in the carb, the 3mm drill bit snapped, jumped and landed on my left thumb. Felt quite sick when I realised there was a 3/4 off the drill almost right through my thumb. A trip to the local minor injury unit revealed no lasting damage and thankfully no broken bits of drill in there!

The barrel and piston are in really good condition too, with no wear or scoring to either. This would explain why it has good compression

The little Villiers is also stripped down. It looks like its never been apart before, judging by the points cover…….

The entire machine is now stripped down completely. The frame and cylinder will be dropped off at the shotblasters in the week. Not sure whether to powder coat or paint the frame. The cylinder will be painted.

Thanks Andy, would that be the engine is an Atco Villiers? Or both Engine and Carb?
I’ve had a quick look on “Villiersparts” site and have seen a carb which is remarkably similar, the Villiers junior…… I’m going to need a couple of bits for the carb, namely a float and a new bowl as the float has at least 3 holes in it and is seriously dented. The bowl is badly corroded both on the inside and on the outside. I will also need an overhaul kit for it too. Here’s the damaged float and the carb stripped down.

Thats brilliant, thanks for the info. It makes it older than I first thought!
Can anyone tell me which Villiers 2 stroke engine this is? And confirm the carb to be a Villiers junior please?

Looks like the Atco needs some love Paul

The hayter looks like it will clean up well

I had the hand throttle turned as far down as it would go,so now I think that the next time it is run to gently alter the govenor and get it to run more slowly. if I need more throttle I can always adjust manually on the throttle lever. Forgot to add the choke in the carb above surrounds the throttle slide from top to bottom. to operate there is a long rod which comes out of the top of the carb where the fixing ring is.

Well I’ve take the easy way out for the time being.
I’ve slipped an alternator on which I had on a shelf. Everything is as it should be (well charging at least).
It’s looking a bit lob sided but it will give me a chance to source a replacement voltage regulator.

It sounds like you ought to put it in a go-kart John.

Looks like you’ve crack it now Timberjack.
