Hey All, just a little info on the BSA Sloper engine I was going on about a few weeks ago, the type found on Ransomes mowers pre-Briggs. Mainly, Norton-Villiers aquired BSA in 1965 and as a result these little motors are more commonly known as a Villiers F-12. They're 120cc, side valve, all alloy and standard with an Amal 379 Carb and Wipac magneto. New old stock parts are still available, especially for the Amal 379. I've got my hands on a comprehensive workshop manual in PDF format which I'm happy to share, only I'm not sure how to post it in the manuals section.
