Hi,
I recently re-engined some small plant with Chinese Loncin engines, (see projects). These have been pretty succesful so I went on line to get a Loncin engine for a customer.
The engines offered are clearly the same Loncin products as I bought previously, but their now marketed as "VILLIERS", and clearly marked VILLIERS ENGLAND.
Whats going on Have they just bought the name, and if so how can they justify "ENGLAND" and the flag on a chinese product.

Re: THE VILLIERS NAME IS BACK ON ENGINES ?????
All the petrol engined items of plant at Beacon Plant in 1982 had Villiers engines, Simplite pumps and those crane hoists with friction drive.Then everything changed in a short time to Honda engines.The engine in the photo has the same layout as a Honda and looks like one Rebadged perhaps ? Would be interested to find out

Hello Craig,
Go to www.pump.co.uk/search/loncin-engines for prices and details.
They are made under licence to Honda design and they even make engines for BMW bikes.
I bought the first one four years ago and its still OK, but only in use 50% of the time.
I recently bought the ones featured in the Project Section on here. The 11 hp. G340 for a welder for £170-00 including vat, and an 8 hp. G240 for a portable workshop compressor for £145-00 including vat.

Interesting price.I found the Honda's a good engine as long as you kept the air filters clean and good clean fuel.Very hard with a hire fleet The machines I worked on were worked flat out all day and used to be covered in concrete dust.We made good money on the cleaning charge alone.
