Villiers motor wanted

Looking for a Villiers single cylinder two stroke motor/s. Either 200cc or 250cc.

Can anyone assist me?

Thanks,

I may be able to help Jasper....what particular model do you need? I've got a Villiers engine in the stash but I don't know very much about it. I got it off a former forum member, MX250 a few years ago and think he told me it's a 197cc but it may be a 125 . I'll run off a photo and get the numbers tomorrow.

A quick Google tells me the engine's a 147cc, possibly out of an early 50's James or Francis Barnett.......probably not what you need Jasper. If you don't want it and it fits into someone elses needs, it's yours for a bottle of Jamaican rum 8).

Thanks Firko,

I can use this motor in another machine that I have.
The 200cc and 250cc motors have an enclosed flywheel, not a cover as this motor does.
Jamaican Rum it is.
