Thanks for the comment,the paint is craftmaster Brunswick green but there are several shades pretty sure this is the lightest one!Good luck with your Atco.
Lovely to hear it popping away. Thank you for posting the video. I bought one in not bad condition (not as good as yours though) in an auction yesterday and intend that it earns its keep. It looks exactly the same as yours. Do you know the model? Are there handbooks that can be downloaded online? What mix of oil and petrol do you use? Many thanks in anticipation.
BS25BaldEagle Thanks for the comment, This one is a 12inch lightweight (1947) which i run on a 20/1 fuel mix with modern two stoke oil. Never came across a online handbook but spotted one at a vintage rally once! Best of luck with your Atco Cheers.
What a great example..
That is one of the sweetest sounding on here. Top work. Currently restoring a 1960 4 stroke.
Sounds Beautiful! The music that thing makes would make me want to mow the lawn.
Thanks I will give it a try in spring😀
Very clean! I like the little engine. Thumbs up!
Thanks.Engine is a Villiers MK1 Midget 78cc.

Looks great! I am restoring a 1962 16" 4 stroke Atco with a Villiers lightweight 49cc engine on it. What paint did you use?

What kind of spark plug is it, Lodge?
Long time ago now since this one was rebuilt! Pretty sure it was a champion🤔
Would you sell?
Has anyone have a 12” Atco machine reference plate or a brass flywheel they wanna sell?
