My Howard bantam has the 147 cc two stroke villiers engine which I can't start so want to put a briggs and stratton engine in its place what modification do I need to do to enable this?

You may get a better response if you post this below on the lawn and garden tractor forum.

All ever heard for them was Bantam, no Howard in there.

The above is a Howard pedestrian rotavator website. It tells what engines were fitted in Britain and in USA.

ROTAVATOR was Howard trade-name & spells the same backwards & forwards.

Howard went bankrupt Worldwide in 1985. Dowdeswell who was the largest plough manufacturer in Gr Britain bought the Howard factory in Norfolk with everything inside including the Howard designs & tooling.
But they did not buy the Howard trade names which were auctioned and finally bought by the ex-Howard French company.

The Norfolk factory continued to produce a number of ex-Howard machines and other implements designed by Dowdeswell.

All the spare parts for obsolete pedestrian Rotavators were sold off to an ex-Howard dealer in Britain called Chester Hudson.

The famous Howard GEM [re-named 650[ & 352 pedestrian Rotavators continued to be manufactured by Dowdeswell in small numbers until late 1990's.

When Dowdeswell closed down the original Howard factory in Norfolk, all the remaining stock and spares were sold off by the liquidators.
