villiers E30 4 stroke year 1964

well it under the shed and been getting stuck into tarting it up
heres the pics  of work so far

the dark blue top coat on the repaired tank

scrapped silvers blues and all colours of spray off the cowlings ,back to just a fin remains of the oxide coat  just waiting for a dry day to sand back to good tin and panel beat the biggest of the dents and waves ,then fill the remaining in

the part number and ajh makers year stamp 1964



the original blue under all the crap and id plate



primmed and ready for top coats later

block masked up and now primmed ready for the topcoat when the paint arrives  

the new fuel pipe i made the other night

and the mag is now back together and belting out a cracking spark
the paint is left on at this time until the other paint arrives for colour comparison as its on the hidden side of the mag
the original date for the magneto is 7/1967 ,so it looks like i was i storage for some time before the mag was fitted for shipping out of birmingham to customer or agents

and the starting shaft before stripping back ,its ready fot the primmer now, and then see what colour i pick when rebuilding the parts again

but for now leave it at my eldests tallents



little to deep with the brush in paint "must point this out to her in the future lol

well this is what its looking like in the semi sun today as from were it was upto last night


well done the magneto timing and new ht lead and plug cap  

fitted the carb and  coke catch lever ,final polish of the pipe i made last week
fitted the small magneto acess side cowling

then discovered  i reconed the wrong fuel tap, so did the right one with a hone polish and new cork fitted  

and the pull start pulley and oil cap are drying in the shed ,

then its almost finished   
kev

looks really good in the Blue!

cheers lewis
its bloody close to the colour it was first coated with
kev

well the old girl is painted, detailed timed ,changed the fuel pipe design "looks more clean this way
also made and then  mounted on wooden frame work  
just waiting on posty to bring me 2x tank bands new old stock ones
then its fuel up ,and find out if it is running as it should be again

oh yeah , i found this in the shed on clearing away the junk off my bench    


so just a little more to do tomorrow if i can "twisted my knee and ankle "  
kev

the air filter is now finished other than a wing nut ,

remade the guvernor to carb linkage as was a few mm out ,to long "close but no cigar

made the throttle idioling lever out of brass ,just to add to the contrasts

had it running and i near poo"ed my pants as turned the fuel tap on ,pulled the choke lever out ,first pull and away it went   

little slow weap from the brass union on carb from fuel pipe ,so added a fibre washer to see if that stops it

running a little rich but will be seeing to that as have a service kit for the zenith 24t2 series carb if needed

and made a stainless airfilter mounting bracket just to minimis the oilbaths shacking slipping around in use and spilling the oil out

so this it how it going to look as its all there and painted ,anything else i just tinkering for a smoother slower running engine
