    In this episode of Restore It, I restore this Villiers Mk15/2 HS stationary engine. I go back to the old style of the channel, meaning no talking during the restoration, just the lovely sounds of the job.

    If you're questioning the magneto - unscrew the sparkplug and ground it anywhere on the head and look for spark when you pull the starter cord. If you're not getting spark, you might have a bad magneto or youve disrupted the current (gaskets/paint) that will help tell you.
    If it sparks, well then you likely have a timing/fuel issue
    Engine need - air, fuel, compression, spark
    Start with one and check em off as you go.

    Not sure how the switch works on this engine, but when it is in "On"-position, the contact seems to be open. That would only make sense, if it shorts the circuit to prevent starting. Maybe try to start the motor in "Off"-position.

    Nice one. Good to see you getting back into the smaller projects again.
    One small tip, lightly rub a smear of grease on paper gaskets, it softens them to fill in any irregularities in castings.
    Now you need a wet bead blaster .. does wonders on aluminium and carb castings.

You made a cliffhanger and a hook for your second channel. It will keep us coming back for the next! If I ever posted videos, I would end every one of them that same way. @@RestoreIt

    I know you note you checked the timing, just checking you set the valve clearances? I see somebody else has commented on lapping the valves, I'm sure you are aware it's all importance for compression.

    This is fantastic.. another awesome production.
    May I suggest you buy a 30 litre ultrasonic cleaner from Vevor for a couple hundred quid. Water/Dish soap will do an amazing job cleaning all your parts and save you the hassle. After that, use vinegar to eliminate all the rust and loose paint. Following that you can remove any remaining paint with your blaster. Overall, I would wager it might be a far more time efficient process.

    • @RestoreIt
      @RestoreIt  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have 20L of ultrasonic cleaning fluid and at one point in the past had one on the way to me. The order was 'lost' and I ended up with a refund and totally forgot about it. I will get some as soon as I can though, as I think you're right.

      May I also ask. When you use a fast wire brush on metal surfaces, before you prime do you scuff it? I think I made a mistake before and didn't, the epoxy mastic peeled right off the steel.
      I wonder with etch primer will it etch a bit better to polished steel? Going forward I use maroon pad on everything. Cheers.

    Yes you've done a great job. I've done up a few MK15s, and yes as has already been mentioned by others, the starter cord needs to be wound on clockwise., also the petrol pipe goes down and up, to the intake on the carb. also Villiers fitted chunky half round washers on the front of the screws securing the tank.
    the rear half round washers were threaded with cycle thread and cheese headed screws.They did give a nice finish.
    Villiers used a lot of cycle threads as they were bicycle manufactures, which for some reason they carried over to their engines and Seagull outboards

    Well done. Assurances from the previous owner aside, its always a good idea to test before you invest so much hard work. As an example from Mustie1, he will typically try to test-run an engine before investing too much time - even if its just a few pops on ether. Nonetheless, wonderful work as always.

    Wow! Nice, long episode! Great restoration project and loved the amount of detail shown. Curious if you checked piston ring gap, and valve seating? Not that those things would prevent a start per se, but maybe good to know if they're in spec.

    The fact that the spark plug had no gap points towards a burnt out magneto? Sorry for the pun! Excellent restoration I have an old sludge pump with one of these engines on it lurking in my dirty workshop. It will one day be restored polished up and turned into a Apple mash pump for cider making. It was been there for 4 years just sourcing the parts very very slowly!

    nicely done. the the cylinder head looking green is nice . I bet it did not last that long. As a child , when I used to visit my grand pa, I used to walk around his coconut plantation in Rurla Kerala. There were many of these keroseon powered water pumps which I always tried to pull start and failed

  • @LMF5000
    @LMF5000 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For troubleshooting, look at some James Condon videos. I will briefly summarize some tips:
    1. To check spark, take out spark plug, put in the spark plug boot, ground the metal part of the spark plug on something metal and spin the flywheel. You should see spark. Alternatively you could put a spark plug tester in the line (it's basically a strobe light that connects between the spark plug boot and the plug). This is my first suspicion because I didn't see how you made the connection of the wire inside the boot. Might be a loose contact there.
    2. To test compression, you need a compression tester. It's a hose with a gauge that plugs in place of the spark plug. You spin the engine over hard and look for a reading of 40-60psi
    3. You need to test the valves. We didn't see you grind the valve seats nor did you show yourself setting the valve clearance. To test them you need a leakdown tester. It involves an air flow-rate gauge and a pressure gauge. You again connect it instead of the spark plug and then pressurise the combustion chamber with air. It will indicate if air is leaking out (the flow rate will be high). Put your hand over the carb intake and the exhaust to see where you feel air and that tells you which valve is leaking (could be both).
    4. To confirm fuel issues, use starting fluid. It's a volatile gas that takes the place of fuel. You spray a tiny spurt near the air intake and try starting the engine. The engine will then run briefly from the fumes of the starting fluid (bypassing the whole carb fuelling system) IF the rest of the things (ignition, timing, compression, valves) are all correct.
    P.S. I wish you had shown the process of inserting the cylinder and connecting the low end, as well as replacing the crankshaft on this video - those are my favourite parts 😅

  • @nitro74cs
    @nitro74cs 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    1st class restoration, great job. For non starting engine; Does it spark? if not, have you checked and cleaned the points? is the coil good? it is very common to have a bad coil, is the kill switch assembly correct?(not grounding through the bolt or the order of insulating fibre washers correct? Also on Villiers stationary engines with flywheel magnetos do not have key on crank shaft so timing the ignition is bit of a pain and if not timed correctly, the pull rope may wind back either pulling back hard potentially hurting fingers or kicking the engine if not mounted good.

    I think you didn't make your ignition lead correctly. The inner core wire needs to be longer and connected to the metal clip that connects to the spark plug. Awesome restoration still. 41:24 41:24 41:24 41:24

    It would have made sense to check for a spark before doing all that! Did you even clean the points? I didn't see that, but I was skipping it.
    It looks nice though.
    I'm more "get it running", once done I'm bored with it, which is why I have a few very scruffy but working villiers!

    Seeing you spray fluids on that workbench which looks like MDF doesn't seem like a good idea long term. You may want to get a silicone pad to put on that workbench, or give it a good paint, and maybe still use a silicone or rubber pad when doing wet work
