100 Year Old Atco Standard Lawnmower Won't Start

100 Year Old Atco Standard Lawnmower Won't Start. In this video I show my Atco Standard 22" lawnmower that I purchased but it has an issue. It has no spark and has been painted in the past. I try and sort out the no spark issue so lets see what I find. This lawnmower weighs 250lbs or 115KG and was the first mass produced lawnmower 100 years ago. It has a Villiers 2 stroke engine that has a cast iron piston and runs on a 16:1 two stroke mix. it has a 22" cut.
