The name of the carb slips my mind at the moment. Amal carb comes to mind but ill check for you tommorrow and let you know. The engines were built in England so if you check EBay there you are bound to find a carb. Not sure what the postage would be though.
My carb came with my motors. Ill keep an eye out on EBay here (Australia) and let you know if one comes up

Thats really nice, and older then any of mine. I really really love the writing stamped into the engine barrell. Beautiful. What bike do you plan to put it in?
I hadnt heard of these Felt Abraham forks, so i did a search and they are similar to the Monark springer. Cool i never knew they made any. You should have a cool bike.
One of the problems with this motor is you may need to build a handclutch shifter like mine or modify a centriufgal clutch because i dont think these rev very hard and might not engage at a low enough rpm. But i plan to do more Villiers builds as well as CAMNZ, Silverbear and Fasteddy over in "DIY Section", so you wont be alone if you encounter any dramas

Baslock,
Try these people for parts. They seem pretty good.

Here's some more.

Type in Villiers magneto rebuild in their search box on the top of their page and it will take you to how to take the fly wheel off and rebuild everything in the ignition and put it back properly. It's very tricky to do right.

Hello baslok,
I picked up the engine that fasteddy bought by auction and the fellow who sold it restores old motors and seems to know his stuff. He said the carb needs going through and a good cleaning, but also said that you can use a carburetor from a Happy Time Chinese 2 stroke bicycle engine... he even included one with the Villiars. It wouldn't be up to the quality of an original in looks or performance probably, but if you have one on hand you might try it just to get the engine going and later give it the carb of your dreams once you find it. Just a thought. Good luck and share pictures as you go.

thanks silverbear!
that sounds good to me! i´m still searching for manuals/sparepartlist´s to get more infos to choose the right parts!
if i understand you correctly then it means that i can use every carb that fits on the motor and is compatible with the displacement (147cc)?!
I unfortunately had to conclude that my engine in comparison to the same type is slightly different, it is reversed
The flywheel is on the left side, a picture here for comparison
today follows pics of my engine
