PART SIX - The Carburetor and Magneto
Lark Parks designed their own engine - quite remarkable for the 1920s.
It appears that they used British carburettors and throttle controls (Villiers); and
German magnetos (Bosch) on their early engines. Later engines would abandon
the external magneto in favour of the Villiers flywheel magneto.
