No help from me on identifying your engine, but your bench looks extremely familiar!
Hard to even see the engine....
Makes me wonder what I might have laying around undiscovered for years!

Nice engine 
It's the engine Villiers made for ATCO lawnmowers. About 98cc if I remember correctly. I own one too and I wish I had more just like it.

Thanks! that will get me started, I need to locate a carb and exhaust. The motor should be a screamer by the sound of that lawnmower. Oh.. and yes my little old shop needs a good cleaning..........someday.
Yep, That's the Villiars midget. I have one on my 1934 Elgin and just recently scored a complete Atco mower in running condition with that same engine. Fasteddy will pick it up in British Columbia for me this spring and bring it down to Minnesota this summer for motor bicycle summer camp for boys who never grew up. The plan is to use the engine and dog clutch assembly intact on a trike conversion of a 1963 Schwinn American Deluxe bike which will also have a hub 36V electric pancake motor up front. The Villiars will start with the kick starter on the mower. The engine will give the trike a nice retro look, I think.Nice engine

Sorry I am no help there, but you have a 1973-1977 Harley-Davidson Sportster front hub supporting it.
Have you tried smokstak dot com for the carb or anyone familiar with Villiars?

E.bay Uk is the best place to hunt for a carb. Some British Seagull outboards used the same Villiers carb so that can be a useful direction to hunt in as well. The exhaust systems are very basic and wouldn't be at all difficult to fabricate. Buying the genuine article NOS would be expensive and old second hand ones are usually clogged up with oily carbon residue and aren't worth buying.
