All thanks!

Indeed the bush on the right side is worn.

Any option to buy new ones to be fitted on the polished main shaft?
Or just have a copy made?

Thanks!

What about the positioning of the piston?
Is this the right way?

You are looking at the left side of the engine as you can also see the “L” on the case.

Need help!
My Villiers XIIC 148cc long stroke engine has been running briefly and then it has no stroke. I have already done all sorts of things; replaced gaskets, new spark plug, reset timing, had cylinder loose, disassembled carb etc.
What is striking is that even after many start requests, the spark plug is not wet. Carb is a 1 1/8" Villiers with needle adjustment, needle 4.5 and nozzle 2, so should get quite a bit of petrol.

But what am I overlooking? Is it sucking in false air through the bronze bushings on the crankshaft?

Any tips welcome as I don't know any more.

Thanks again!

Sorry I misunderstood the preference of an alloy piston compared to a cast iron.

What is in your view the biggest advantage of having an alloy?

Indeed I also have cast iron ones found only so far.

Would you be able to date this engine as well?

I do have a used cast iron piston at 54mm without rings which is for sale.
Please drop me a message including an offer.

Hello, thanks for all very interesting information on Villiers engines.
I do have a bike with a Mk XII-C with the number GY 7019.
Will you be able to date this engine?
It has an aluminium flywheel installed where I have seen others having a brass one.
Potentially this change over can be dated as well.

Who can help me identifying this engine?

Looks like it is from the thirties.

Stroke is roughly 62mm.

For the one also looking for a NOS Albion sprocket, Vale-Onslow is selling several ones at eBay at this moment!
Good luck!

Thanks to you both.

The one at Villiers Services doesn’t fit unfortunately.

I got another tip on RE so any clue where to find them?

Hello everyone, totally new here but hope someone can help me.

For my Albion EJ gearbox (3-speed, clutch and kickstarter) I am looking for the 17T sprocket (part BJ12).

As attachment a picture of a 14T sprocket (part BJ12a), and 2 copies of the Albion part list, which I can share with you if you like!
The 14T sprocket is available as well.

Does anybody knows where these can be bought?

Thanks in advance, Cees
