Villiers Mk25 engine strip and restoration

In this short video diary, I make my first attempt at fixing an old side valve engine from a Wrigley's cart. The engineering is simple but effective and I find working on this engine from a by-gone era to be absolutely charming. From the beautiful brass fittings and the use of simple design, making it a real pleasure to take a spanner to.
A few mistakes along the way, but no real issues to contend with.
I hope you enjoy the video.

I have the same engine type which needs some TLC. Where did you find a parts manual? I have looked on internet without success. Thanks.
