Hi all, when it's too cold for the shed, then the smaller projects come inside.
Working on a Jap 2A I believe to be 1942, I have stripped it down to the crank and every thing looks good, so it's back together with new gaskets and it's getting ready for a new paint job.
No serial numbers on the engine, just on the shroud.

Hi Keith and welcome to the forum.

Have a really close look at the tinware - shroud and tank.  I have had a number of Villiers engines and the company that made the tinware, AJH, I believe also made the same for some JAP models. If you are lucky you may find a small (half inch)  lozenge shaped stamped with the letters AJH and a year.

Good luck and please keep us posted with progress.

I can not see anything else stamped, I have sanded it all down and primed the tinware, nothing on it other than the serial number.
I have not seen a single JAP with the logo on the side?

Looking good, have you had it running yet?

The carb looks familiar, could you post a photo similar to this one please...

As I think I have one on my 1944 Villiers V engine and there is some confusion as to whether it's JAP or Amal

I still have the tank and ignition system to work on, so not ready to run just yet.
This carburettor has no primer button, unlike the later ones.
If it was an Amal it would have the Amal logo on the fuel bowl.

Thanks for the photo, it looks a very similar body, but different float bowl, hopefully I can spend a bit of time this weekend cleaning it up a bit to see if there are any markings.

Amal always had the logo on the carb and I have carbs back to the early 40's, but I have not seen a villiers logos on any of my villiers carbs, so I think that's what you have, probably just has a model and jet number stamped on it.

It has it's similarity's, but the Zenith 13T has a choke a tickler and is a stub fit, whereas the Jap carb hasn't got any of that on this one.

The JAP carb was replaced with a Zenith in the late 1940's, the reason given was that it was unsuitable for horticultural machinery as it cut out/flooded if the machine was tilted. I had an early 2a with the JAP carb but sold it on a few years ago now.
