H Miller and Co Type W7
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me identify a small motor that I am looking to restore for a friend. It is a 2-stroke, about 50cc(?) and has "H Miller and Co, Birmingham, England, Type W7" cast into one half of the crankcase. It has a Dellorto carburettor, no gearbox. Any help you could give would be much appreciated.
Thank you

• This appears to be a stationary engine. There is no record of engines produced by the firm. The carburettor is unlikely to be original.

Thanks for the reply,
Think I have identified it as a "Trojan Mini Motor". Electrics are by H Miller and Co, turns out that where the casting of the name was, isn't a part of the crankcase but a separate plate.
