Hey BB,
I had a look at the pics of your Supercut.....very nice! I think it's testimony to Scott Bonnar that so many of these machines are still around 50-60 years on in absolute working condition with no major mods. I know the Villiers engine is not popular, but I think they're still up to the task (in particular with a carby repair kit from Villiers Parts). To me that low-revving, un-silenced thumping is part of the Supercut experience.....heheh
Look forward to your resto updates,
Craig
