PART TWO - the 4-Strokes

The Tempest was also offered as a 4-stroke.
This would be the Kirby-Tecumseh GEB engine.

The 1960 advertisement below is interesting for a number of reasons:
the first would be its somewhat misleading claim about the new-to-Australia wind-up type starters.
Villager's announcement "Exclusive FIRST RELEASE in Australia" of that starter is arguably true;
however the ad's copy, "Just press the button and START," was somewhat misleading puffery.

As an aside note, the ad shows the Villager Company's diversification into distribution of products
it did not manufacturer. Here they are selling the Blitz tiller by Vinco, and an air conditioner
of unknown origin.

Today, the Villager Tempest 4-strokes would have to be super-rare.
