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.
Pace,Austral Villiers, Villager,Vampire and a few others also ran Villiers midgets until the 7f manual and auto were released.
