Atco Lightweight

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

I have just rescued what I believe to be a Atco Lightweight. Still with vintage shape tank and silencer and kick start. Cutting cylinder is 12" across. Needing help to approximately day this...I think could be late 40's ?

No plate on frame anywhere, but Villiers engine appears original and has the number 764 cast on the top of the crankcase together with 59   45   beneath it. Any ideas gratefully received. Thank you.

Paul.

Sorry, one further question....what fuel mix do any of you use for these Lightweights....16:1 as per the older Atco Standards ?

That's very interesting Trevor. I reckoned it must be early 50's but the identification plate is missing on mine.

How does your engine number compare with mine ?
