After a quick clean I can say that you were 100% right....it's a mills engine
Just wondering about the numbers on the crankcase (511 and 72); maybe 511 it's a serial number but 72? maybe a .72ccm version??

Thanks again for your help
Luca

The numbers on the lugs are simply a serial number-the number is read 'two digit' then 'three digit' -the two digit being the batch number, and the three digit number the individual number within that batch. There is NO way of dating the engine from the serial number=other than in a purely sequential fashion....ie a higher batch or individual engine number was manufactured later than a lower one...

Your engine is missing quite a lot of carburettor parts.....

Hello Chris,
thanks a lot for your explanation about the numbers on the lugs!
At last it should means that this engine is an orginal ones and a not a replica, am I correct about it?

Thanks again, regards

Yes it is an original-you are missing the tank top,tank bowl and the needle valve assembly (the needle and friction spring)-and the jet assembly itself does not look to be in particularly good condition. You would need to locate both those items to get the engine into workable condition-and the tank top (or a washer of identical thickness to the tank top) is required because the jet assembly screws into the intake from below-and the hole through the intake tube passes through the jet assembly-and is drilled AFTER ASSEMBLY-ie after the jet assembly is screwed into the air intake tube-so you cannot just screw the existing jet assembly further in till it bottoms out on the intake-the through hole will then not be aligned...so even if you want to use a Mills 75 with an external tank, you still need the tank top to remain in position. There were two distinct models of the Mills 75 mk2-the S.75 (='standard') which had a rotating cutout between the venturi and the tank, and the more commonly encountered P.75 (='popular') which dispensed with the cutout-for obviously reasons the jet assemblies on the two variants were slightly different.
