OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Engines Villiers - Midget Mark 2 - Originally on Tecnico

Hy Mall, I only have a few picks taken by phone at night last week. It looks like someone built a power unit out of an old mower, it has reduction pulleys and cooling fan at the back of frame, engine is mounted on a old block of wood it has a brass ring on the outer of flywheel. engine number is 158X 2035

The other engine (not pictured) very much like motor fitted to Qualcast mower engine. engine number is 863A 22085

Thanks Mate,

Thats pretty cool!

The Engine is off an Australian Rotary mower Made by TECNICO". Its a VILLIERS 98cc Mk 2 Midget. Its a shame the mower is long gone,as its a very rare one, but A very intriguing little powerplant....one can only wonder what its use was.


Cheers for the Images.

Welcome, another Tecnico Midget engine. I just got mine up and running

G'day RJK,i have the same Qualcast mower as yours, but in powder blue....

Hi HT6, Going to restore the 158X The engine is complete the flywheel is brass I have been told it is a Villiers Mk2 Engine it is mounted with fan and outrigger setup
Originaly fitted to Tecnico Mower ?? Not sure if the fan is genuine or an after thought???
This site is great for a newby Here are some pics



The Engine is pulled down and ready for cleaning,
The Piston is marked C6752 & 3954 as a spare parts person Im guessing that c6752 is the part number and 3954 is 3rd Day 9th month 54th year???
Am yet to find a Mk2 parts list. Does any one know what cc this engine culd be?
Piston is 49.91mm dia
Once again than you guys for the warm welcome!
Kind Regards

Hope it helps to get the fan cooled engine running as I would really like to see a video of that one.

Hi RJK1962, and a warm welcome to ODK from me.
That is quite an unusual use for a Victa Tilt-A-Cut edger blade for the fan...

Thank you Paul_C

Deejay so I take it the fan was an improvision?
The whole set up looked like was knocked up in someones back yard.

Unfortunatly the wooden block has to go, Termites!!!
when I stripped the engine it had wasps living in the muffler and ports, the little buggers didnt wipe there feet
and filled it full of mud and sand.
Will post pic's later.
Regards to all
Ron
