OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions on Other Engines Seeking help to identify an Atco 4 stroke engine

I have just acquired an old Atco 14 inch cylinder mower with a 4 stroke engine. As I'm unfamiliar with the 4 stroke variety of Atcos, and as there's no model identification plate on the mower, I'd like to try to identify this engine.

The serial number is 46C1-62423 if that helps.

(Can provide a photo if required.)

Hi gtc,
Please post some pics for us mate, this will make it much easier for our members to help identify it for you.

Okay, pics as requested:

Hi gtc, can you please post a pic of the flywheel side of the engine....and some close ups of the engine itself.
Thanks mate.

I didn't take a pic of the flywheel side, but it's just an open pulley for rope start.

Hi again gtc,
I would like to see the flywheel side, because I wish to see the cowling Can you please post a close up pic, and also of the engine in general....

Hi GTC and ODK members,

The engine is a Villiers Mk 7 it has a 50mm bore and a 38mm stroke. They are rated at about 1.3bhp. These engines were fitted to 14, 17 and 20"(domestic)mowers. The heavy duty 20" machines were fitted with Villiers Mk 12 or Villiers 730E engines.

Cheers,

Sir Chook

Many thanks! Now I can consider doing a reno on the engine.
