I have just been given a Howard Bantam rotavator with a Villiers 15S OHV 4
stroke engine - about 2 HP I should think. Can anyone point me in the
right direction for an exploded diagram. I have an old (1961) Villiers
manual for 2 strokes, that also shows a similar carb to mine, but the
rockers ain't moving, so summat's up with the cam I reckon (valves aren't
stuck), I suppose its geared to the crank, but before I start a stripdown
I'd like to get a look at the diagram, so any suggestions gratefully
received.

John,
As a restorer of stationary engines I can describe it for you, the cam shaft
is geared direct onto the crankshaft and once you have removed the head and
barrel it will be easy to see the problem.

Thanks Martin, seems like I have to remove these to diagnose then. If you
know anyone who needs access to info on the two stroke engine gear units
marks 9E 2L 31C & 31-34A then I have a manual, tho' I noticed quite a bit
on the web about the two stroke bike engines.

Fair point- but I was rather hoping there might be a little inspection
port under all the gunge, & I'm anxious to get to play with my new
gritblaster on the rest of the Bantam! Having said that, both the
dishwasher & the tumble dryer have packed up this last week, so apparently
these have a higher priority, if I want any grub this week - I hate
working on these bloody things- all self tappers & sharp edges & silly
plastic clips yuchh.

What???
Dish washer = me
Tumble dier = washing line
Not exactly life threatening.
Fix the engine and cook your own food if she gets snotty about it ;)

Hi Joao
Email to you bounces.
If you will email the museum direct with a working email you will be sent
the manual you want.
Apologies to everyone else for the unavoidable waste of bandwidth.
cheers

John,
You will find a manual and parts list for this engine on
www.internalfire.com You will need Adobe Acrobat to read it. I have just
checked and it has exploded diagrams etc, just what you need!
I had one of these engines and it ran well, apart from getting the ignition
properly timed, flywheel needs to be TIGHT or the timing is likely to slip.
The rockers won't be moving, just be careful nothing is seized as when you
turn the engine over something might break !
Best of luck!
David

If you want to know what it'll look like after it has exploded, there's a
much easier way!
