Hi Brent,
I wish I had know all this back in 1954.  Thanks.  Next time I  find a 
Villiers engine I'll be better prepared to deal with it.

Ron i  repair villier engines mainly 2 and 4 stroke stationary engines there
is an  arrow on the fly wheel that lines up with a mark on the body at the
back of  the flywheel roughly at 10 oclock a half moon shape with a line ,The
arrow  mark on the flywheel and the line on the body line up; on the crank
there  is normally a slot that is set directly to the top if these are all
lined  up tighten the centre bolt and it should fire a common fault also with
them  is the condenser packs up this is normally hiding underneath the points
if  there is no mark you might have to set the piston at just before tdc if
you  can put a piece off wire in the head it drops about 3mm i think.All  the
engines are set that way that i have.. In regard to the condenser you  can
use a car type one 12volt will do the same job just to get the  engine
running  if you have trouble getting a spark they are great  little engines
there is a place in england that sells parts for them but  the car one works
fine.hope that helps brentnz
