Its all there with a good spark, I reckon I just got to fiddle with the timing and she’s a runner!! I’ll do that drekly mind. Geddon!

Not sure about your front roller set up. Normally a wooden roller “high cut” set up would be one small roller at each end – nothing in the middle. The parts book shows a full set of wooden rollers or a metal swivel roller (like a shopping trolley castor) at each end.
On your image of the carb I can see the Villiers logo, is there not an id such as B10 or similar stamped into the mounting flange or cast into it somewhere? I don’t recognise the red air filter housing at all and it bears no resemblance to the one in the Atco parts book – does it look original?
It needs a Villiers historian to interpret the engine id plate. As far as the mower id goes I would expect to see a tag bolted under one of the chassis bolts on the right hand chassis plates just below the starter pulley – keep imagining that I can see the outline of one there just forward of the pulley or is it just scrape marks in the paintwork?
