70 Year Old Engine Full Rebuild And First Start - Villiers MK10 

I'm here because your ad on market place😂😂😂. Good job mate👍👍👍

Nice job man. I have much respect for these Villiers engines, they gave me an early appreciation of engine stuff.

Hey Tom... Salute from New Zealand. I just picked up one of these from a swap meet... no spark plug... yet I expect she will not take much to get running. Villers are Legendary down here in NZ. 50 years ago I had bigger one on a farm Go-cart... it was a beast! Now I intend to get this smaller unit going on a mini bike for my youngest son...

Wow Tom, great results after months of dedication! Liked the green paint and polished brass on this, 🤙. The camera angle worked too.

Congrats on getting back up and running!

Im happy with the looking down shots skip

Incredible restoration job. Better light on the engine would help show internals of assembly and a mic shooting towards you would enhance sound a tad. The touch up on engine paint work had me laughing given the state you got it in. Well done.

Good work mate, perfect time because I finally got time to fix the carby on my mk10 and got it going today! The only difference is mine looks more petina and needs tuning as well it being a kickstart! Sounds great 👍

A closer view would be great

You are a master young Tom, love your work maybe camera a bit closer

Hi Tom Can you tell me more about the tool you used when timing the engine it was mounted on the bench and moved into position on top of the piston. Thanks

I’m watching this for info on restoring small engines, good content camera I would say should be closer so we can see what you are doing properly, don’t need to see work bench

I would like the view to be closer but it's how you want to do it.

Hi an excellent restoration did you spray or brush the paint finish and what colour green did you use

That’s a super job you’ve done here, she looks and sounds beautiful. What additive do you use to replace the lead in those old fuels?

Hi Tom, does the top of the piston come level with the top of the cyl. block on TDC? I’m working on a Villiars 25 at present, and the top of the piston is about 4 mil below the top of the block on TDC. Is this correct?

Nice Job man, i have the same engine, i saw you are using a manual, can you send me a copy or tell me where can i take it please

NIce job. Now to fashion a nice base for it, eh? (o;

Hi, Are you based in the UK? I have two MK15 engines that need refurbishing and would happily pay, or could you suggest a company that deals with such engines? Thanks

Tom How do you tell the difference between the different mk 10 / 12 /25

How do you get the flywheel off? got the pull starter off, that centre nut only wants to undo so far....is that screw near it have to come out as well?

What type of green paint did u use because I have a villiers mk20 that was green

Were did you get I'd plate from thanks

I am sure you could see what you were doing. I couldn't.

Hey by chance can u send me any info u got on the mk10 I just got one for free

A closer woud be good

How do you get the fan covet off. I've undone the bolts and it's not moving?
