Hello This is my first post here so plese be patiant. I have bought a Villiers Mk10 air-cooled engine from an aution and am now trying to gather enough info to overhall it get it running. I have found the Winget company site and downloaded the manuals they have available here but as there are two editons for different years I now need to know how old my engine might be. Is it possible to tell from the serial number? The maker's plate says Villiers Mk10 No 851/148562D The engine is not fitted to any equipment but might have been used on a farm elivator or simmilar. Finally, does anyone know if Villiers Industrial are still in bussiness and, if so, what their contact details are? Thanks very much for any help.

It my be a little while before I can get back to you about this as I will have to retrieve the engine from where I have stored it and if it need any dismantling it will have to wait till I have cleared some workshop space for the resto! Thanks for the help and I may well need your stocks of parts in due couse. Pockets wrote:We can help you with dating look at the flywheel, If its original, GEORGE.

The first engine spec code 402x indicates a mark 2 midget engine and the b6698 is the part number for the cylinder. 402x = Villiers with d119au inlet pipe,m2530d. Villiers Engine Serial Number.

I can possibly ID the engine with Images.Youve no idea what a huge can of worms your trying to open with Villiers.The coding is limitless and confusing and thats just for the engines themselves.trying to ID parts is even harder. I have engine codes for most aus 98cc midgets and 70cc,never got in to much else.I can tell you its Australian(ballarat made)Engine and by the parts its not a Midget,which most Aus rotarys used,so im presuming its off a reel mower.

The number is familiar so ill do some peeking for you. Show me images if you like and the date code on top of the flywheel.Red could indicate Austral or pace,but that doesnt count for much.And they both ran 98 and 70 cc Midgets.

Sorry I dont have much more for you,hopefully other members can shed some more light Victa only used Villiers on 3 models the billycart,Mk1 Fan and MK2 Fan.The Billy cart and at least 30% of Mk1 Fans were Still english sourced engines and used their coding,which is very erratic and very little is known of their sequence,if at all. Midway through the Mk1 fan the 132x coded Aus engines were used and ran in sequence until the last Mk 2 Fan. A run amount? Im not sure but im thinking around 4,500 only since this is the highest number ive seen on a mk 2 fan. Again other may have more info,but to my knowledge there is very little.
