Atco Villiers lightweight engine.

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

Hello.

I have a 1961 Atco with a Villiers lightweight engine. The engine runs nicely but after some time oils the plug and stalls. There is quite lot of oil in the bore, I am guessing the engine needs new rings? Is this engine prone to this problem?

Does anyone know how to access the big end as the engine has no sump. I am guess I need to take the mag of and access it by removing that plate?

Any ideas on where to buy the rings I was thinking Meetens. 

Any help and advice appreciated.

Any 1961 engine is liable to be worn. Post an image of your engine but it is most likely that the crank case cover on the opposite end to the mag comes off. 

Meetens are the best stocked and knowledgable for all things Villiers.
