I noticed that you referenced that you had no photos on your web site.

JAP engines were still used in speedway bikes well into the 1960s.

After 1945, production was taken over by the Villiers factory.

Their 1927 catalogue lists types FW 3-speed for engines of 175cc, BS for 250 and 350cc JAP engines, and the 3-speed LS for engines up to 400cc.

I believe the correct head is the Dog Eared singledouble port (twin plug) type.

I am looking to rebuild the engine to its original (used) condition.

Does anyone have a cylinder head from this era for sale please.

Could you suggest who might have stock of this part Attached is an old photo of the style of Reliance truck that we are restoring.

Have you any idea of the sort of money they would fetch Thanks Tony Bligh Park NSW Australia.

Could you help me which model was used this The sign is JAP but i dont know have they ever build gearboxes Budapest.

It is 13427. No letters.

Weard part is it came with a Russian made mag with points and condenser attached to the came chest.

I am told these are twins from pre-20s as there are no letters of any kind on them.

What are the possible displacements Do you make the Jugs Any idea of the value for the lower numbered one as it is complete with belt drive setup.

Erie, KS.

The engine sprocket has not been removed but the magneto one has.

All help would be appreciated as I need to get this engine working again North of London 40 miles.

Any advice. kings Lynn UK.

Any info that you have thats easy to access that gives reference to the ZEV Magneto as used on Jap engines.

Thank You, Mark Ohio USA More information perhaps under Electrics.

The only numbers I have found on the engine do not correspond with what I have read about the ID system used.

Thanks. Exeter.

Is there any old research from Scotland or a source for old stories from 1912 Decatur, GA,USA.
