Thanks again for all your help guys , i think im going to bite the bullet and buy a new coil and new Villiers points/condensor box . The one ive got is in a prety poor state and id rather put in the correct parts and have it as close to a genuine machine as i can.

Thanks for your reply andy , i have no idea on the situation of the motor and points etc as im having to rebuild it all as it was in pieces when i got it. At the moment all im doing is cleaning her all up and re-building her as when i purchased it a fair bit of it was in pieces , so im replacing bits and piecess that i can manage to get hold of. Im no mechanical or electrical expert , so im going by very helpfull info im getting on here and watching videos on youtube etc.
You are also correct in saying its a modern coil also , but going on the reading im getting i believe now that the coil will be ok to use. Fingers crossed i get her going very soon.

Hi Charlie.
I have found the Castrol XL30, but in its description it says that it is for 4 stroke engines – Am I missing something here?

I contacted Morris and they are recommending their ‘Ground Force 2T’. Does that seem right?

Removed the cylinder head thismorning and put it back on the right way round . It all looked very clean which i trust is a good thing , i also removed the exhast which i hope can be re welded to join it back together as one air tight unit. That ill have to look into though as i know nothing about welding. I WILL NOW POST SOME PICTURES FOR YOU ALL TO GAZE YOURE EXPERT EYES OVER IF THATS OK.

Thanks for that Andy, the guy it belongs to is in his 80’s and I go and help him moving them. He’s on with it, if he needs anything I’ll let you know,

Thanks Ian.

Looked at the Coleby today and it doesn’t appear to have been modified as you say. The engine is seized, carb has a bit missing and the handlebars are broken.
