Hi guys
Was given this chainsaw from a friend who wanted to use the engine in a go kart.
Villiers 4.5hp 98cc engine.

Here are some pictures when i got it.

And some pictures through the restoration.

And finally what stage its at currently.



























Having a bit of trouble getting it started, i have compression and a spark, and I've reset the timing, doesn't want to fire at all, maybe the coils goosed...

Anyway, what do you think? :)

Mz to a Villiers, must be two stroke addiction ! Watch your fingers,arms and legs when you do get it fired up !!

Sold my Bantam D14s about 3 years ago in about 10 mins via Old Bike Mart. Must get those photos out !! lol

I like the bantams, shame all i can ride on Ls is a D1 which are the most expensive of the lot. Would like a old moto morini 350

Getting harder and harder to get a full bike license, the test consisted of 4 times round the block in 1980 when i passed my test. Traded my superdeam in the next day for a Suzuki GS550E, £1275 new !!

As in, cb250? Lovely bikes them, though a bit asthmatic performance wise i thought

Aye CB250N Superdream, bought it new in 1979 for about £850, traded a Ramair Suzuki GT250M in for it (think i got £150 for it ) Had two more superdreams and dream in the 80,s as ride to work bikes. No one wanted them could get them for not a lot of money, good bikes, slated by most , which made them cheap. Saw 90 mph on the clock once ! not as quick as my mates RD250s and X7s
