I am currently restoring a 1965 Tarpen Hedge Cutter that is powered by a Villiers Light Weight Engine

Some parts are missing so I am looking for sales literature or user manuals to assist in the rebuild.

I am also looking for a Villiers oil bath filter for the B10 carb

Photos of the hedge cutter can be found at http://www.internalfire.com/modules.php ... _album.php


Thanks

Hello,
I believe "pockets" who is a forum member here may pick up on this one.. I think he also posts on internal fire forum...so I suspect you will be aware of http://www.villiersparts.co.uk/

I have in the distant past sourced Villiers parts from Meetens, Unit 2 Eclipse Trading Estate
30 West Hill
Epsom
Surrey
KT19 8JD
Sales Telephone: 0845 634 0295

I have not dealt with them for many years it being 16 years since I left the mower world...so I'm not up to speed on what is about these days..

Was the lightweight engine type in question here also used on some Webb 24 and Ransomes Twenty Four.??..although I somehow don't recall air vane governing on them.??..long time ago though..

All the best,
Clive.

Thanks Clive

I know Pockets and unfortunately he has sold the last of his oil bath filters :-(
