Darren , any news for us on the powder coating ?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Got the little blighter at last ! a few delicate squirts of WD and a small loving tap or two from the Mash Hammer and I now have it parted. Thought it was not going to play ball,but persistence won the day. this now gives me the chance to start rubbing down with the fine flap wheel which I can recommend to beginers.

No tank and a different carb setup, and regualtor on top of th airhroud,somewhere I’ve got a gas carb knocking about but haven’t seen it for a number of years.

[vhgmcbuddy]

thank you all very much for the help, I will see how I get on and let you know. ordered a new coil for it today so will have to wait. have any off you come across a gas powered one before ? as this is fitted with a regulator instead of a tank!?

alan i have just broken one of these as it was to far gone to do any thing with but i have the bonnet and other panels that you are welcome to if they are of any use? i must say one thing, when i got mine i stood back from it and decided this has got to be the ugliest ride-on ive ever seen and that was probaly one of the major factors why they did not catch on

Strip down in rapid progress,and have now come to a halt on the clutch assembly. have looked at the parts list which I was sent yesterday,and as yet have not got it off. could be seized in the engauged position but just wanted to ask if I heat up the outer casing to expand it from the inner unit would any harm be done from inside the clutch unit ?

Ahh Har ! that looks like it does more than that ,but little mystery solved,thanks Angus. have not yet looked in the cover or it would have solved its self in time. going back to the shed demolition to get her under cover,i may be able to get it in if I remove grass box and the brackets which hold it in position on the main chassis.

Just a thought here,would it work if an alternator was fitted with small spikes instead of a v pulley and lowered to the ground as you cut the lawn. in turn as you travelled along the alternator would rotate and a charging system would kick in. very geekish statement john.

This is the object under investigation Angus. the small protruding cyclinder,at rear right lower corner. looks important but whats its job ?

With a mk 12 I simply set the engine to tdc then refit the flywheel with lining up the timing arrow on the flywheel with the line on the back plate then tighten the nut very tight. Never had a problem doing four stroke villiers with this method.

Great stuff angus thats very informative.will post a photo on here and then you can see it in the flesh. What does it do ? Its a mystery no other mower i own has this on it.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Still got a small torch bulb and battery I rigged up years ago to determine points opening, But something like that gadget Angus just connect to the HT lot simpler.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks for the hot tip angus will not forget. Tell me what is that protruding cyclinder for at the back of the chaincase
