I did an image search and it looks to be early 000s or so. Good to see somebody taking a second look at using a Victa two stroke. Plenty of information to be found here. A keyword search in the Google box above will quickly yield results from the past on this site from some legendary contributors.

As has been discussed lately, the needle in the carburetor has traditionally been a weakness with the G4 plastic carburetor, but it's close to finally being cracked after 46 years since members Carbymaster and NormK have experimented with polishing the seat the needle sits in. No more sticking needles so far.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
