atco restoration
A few questions first.
Is it a rope pull start. kickstart. recoil start?
is it 2 or 4 stroke?
does it have a torpedo shaped exhaust or a "pepper pot"
torpedo shaped fuel tank or box like?

Atco Dates
Alun
The numbers I have are very limited but one of the entries suggests this might be a small Atco Villiers engine from the late 1940s, perhaps on a 12 or 14" mower? Let us know. Sadly all of the relevant Atco records were lost in a fire during the 1970s and as a result of their move from Birmingham to Stowmarket so it's not very easy to match numbers up against production dates.
