British Bikes / Re: Villiers 1E super sport
« on: September 09, 2022, 12:55:02 PM »
Thanks 33d6 for the information. Yes I have a marked “Super Sport” barrel and ally head and 61mm ally piston, the crank cases are marked 880. Also I have the complete Auto lube tank and pipes. I currently run a 1924 Levis popular with drip control oiling so I am used to the delicate balance of oiling.
I think the big end will need replacing, but Villiers are not a million miles from me so I can call in and discuss with them. Thanks for the engine sprocket info, didn’t know whether it was keyed, so I must get a bit more aggressive and a bit of heat. The sprocket is a 16T.
P.S. sprocket now removed👍
I have a complete engine with flywheel mag, villiers carb and inlet manifold. Only missing the down pipes.
I have been informed by the person who recently brought it back from the Isle Of Man that it was previously owned by an ex racer living on the Island, who later took it out of his race bike to make a wood saw to cut up logs for his fire and then later for many years it sat in his shed collecting dirt etc. my task now is to get this running then find a suitable frame.
