Hi Jack,
Can you ID this engine for me year and model
Cheers Ken

Hi Ken
I can only offer some thoughts on this ...

The engine - a Midget MK2 98cc - was not made by Villiers Australia.
The lack of an crankcase X number apparently signifies that.
This engine was fitted to an imported machine.

I do not think the intake manifold is a standard Villiers part - that is the best clue.
[Apart from the crankcase stampings]
Perhaps a member will identify it.

Any evidence of date would have been stamped on the flywheel.
The MK2 was a post-war engine, used extensively on machinery, and
used up to the early 1960s.

Hi Jack
All good info
Hope to fine a flywheel to get it running
Cheers Ken

Hi Ken
Thanks for that.

This design series did have a brass flywheel and - by the MK4 - a steel flywheel.
My best guess is that you need a brass flywheel...

I say because the intake manifold indicates the cylinder was vertically positioned.
I mean to say, not sloping, so popular on later 1950s midgets.

I hope you get a result.

Hi Jack,
That all make sense will have to look out for a brass flywheel
or It might have the wrong inlet manifold
food for thought lol
