[SEL] Engine ID

[MaytagTwin at aol.com]

Hi Andy,
 
If it helps I do know Villiers did make an engine for a small  motorcycle.  I 
once had a James cycle with a Villiers engine.  It was  not a moped as it had 
no bicycle pedals.  I think it had a three speed  transmission.  I didn't 
have much luck with getting it to run right as I  could never figure out the 
spark timing.  The flywheel was held in place by  taper fit on the crankshaft with 
no keyway.  Eventually I  returned it to the seller.

Hi, I've  just got hold of a couple of engines (one for parts) that were in 
storage  for me, from a deceased member of my club.
I've never seen these before,  they're a little 2 Stroke, look allot like a 
Villiars, but has a Motor  bike Crank case.
On the flywheel it has "Australian Marine Engine Company  PTY LTD Melbourne" 
Engine No. F1082.
Would any one out there have any  idea's on these engines?
Thanks........
