UPDATE !

Well the Villiers 412 H2 which is the original engine on this Supercut has finally been run for probably the first time in about 20 years. I first intention was to get the Villiers operable again and then re-fit it back onto the machine prior to moving house which is happening within the next month, so a full restoration is a little way off for now, but I will after I sort the carby issue out with it (full internal cleaning and blow out)make a video of it being crank started / running and post it up for all the ODK members that helped me along the way to see the fruits of their help and advise.

BTW has anyone ever experimented with using any glass wool (or similar) inside the exhaust box on a Villiers to quieten them down a bit more as an empty cast iron box isn't the quietest muffler ever made.

Meanwhile here is a shot of it with it's correct Petrol tank being retro fitted back onto it (care of a C12 engine I have) from that rusty old Kirby Lauson tank that was on it when I took delivery of it (see earlier photos in this thread)
I guess that I'll now be looking for a tank for the C12 as that motor is way too good to scrap.
You'll probably notice a few items on the 412 have been painted in cold galv which is not how they are going to remain as the whole machine and engine will be painted back in its original livery just as it would've been when it left the factory.

Cheers for now,

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
