Those photos were at a show in Tenbury Wells a couple years ago. Don't know who the guy was but presumably he is very local.

Yeah your right there stubby but they did run very smooth

Anyhoo, wend down the twinpot rabbit hole last night, and ended up with the echo back pack compressor, same engine as the echo 2 cylinder I think.

 

So found one on the flea bay, just in the USofA

It was a 350cc Villiers engine. 

Made light work of any sawing as the torque was there. 

6ft bar and the teeth were huge.

 

Just a real b@stard to start.

I think that's the 250 Villiers, as the 350 had a single exhaust port, all the 250,s had two, but that's a beauty and I would love to own one.

If you still had it I'd be worrying the  life from you trying to buy it.

Sorry.

 Definitely a 350 as I had the original sales receipt and manual from 1953
