I think the series 3 had a Villiers side valve four stroke engine so would probably have a Villiers carb. For Monro parts, forum member landie57 is the man to contact as he is, or was, Monro specialist for the VHGMC.

you are right the series 3 is a villiers engine.
if you do have a carb please let me know.
i forgot to mention last post i need some tyres for it i can find 8s but they are 6s on it.
any ideas please.

Come on all you Monro experts, my only experience with them was selling one for a neighbour. Villiers seem to have used a couple of different carbs on the side valve engines, one looked like the type they fitted to motorcycles with a choke incorporated into the air filter, but later machines had an up-draught carb with a red plastic filter unit. A couple of these are on eBay at the moment.
I do know more about 6 x 3.00 pneumatic tyres as they were used on 12” Merry Tiller wheels. There are plenty of these wheels about but they make good money. If nobody has an old stock 6 x 3.00 tyre about, 6 x 3.50 tyres are available off the shelf and, if you need two of them, I would go for this size. Old George Monro didn’t just sell rotovators apparently, take a look at this

I have manuals for all models of Monro Tiller and associated Villiers engines, Mk10,12 and 15. I also have a few second hand parts. For link to my website look at the VHGMC website links page.
