  1. I picked this engine up on ebay back in the summer as a winter project. After cleaning and setting the points and changing the HT lead and plug I got a good spark (much to my surprise, was sure the coil would be dead) so I have started stripping it for restoration. As you can see one thing I need is the air filter oil bath, however all the pictures I've found of other engines show it held on by 2 metal strips, rather than the wire retainer mine has. Does anyone know if they are interchangeable? I will take some pictures of where I am at now and post them up.
  2. Not something Iv'e seen before, do you think it was factory made or cobbled up from an old flail mower or something? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Villiers-Engine/183454599930?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D260cdf45fae44ec9a8e091796f3c4d7a%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D223210594909%26itm%3D183454599930&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A5db29b30-e141-11e8-a4c1-74dbd180106f|parentrq%3Ae5c475511660aa119c386bebffff5a1e|iid%3A1
  3. On the plus side, you won't make it any worse...
