I am writing from sunny South Africa in the Western Cape. I am busy restoring a Victa 160cc for my brother. It is a runner now. It needed new G4 primer cap, needle, carburetor cap, diaphragm, long spring, new catcher door spring (which I fashioned myself from a engineering shop bought spring which have same thickness- seems the spring has different form and location for overseas market), decomp diapragm and sponge, aircleaner filter and new spark plug.The above items except for catcher door spring and sparkplug I got from eBay from Pushmowerrepair and [Censored] store which I arranged to be sent to my other brothers' son who's living in Sydney, NSW, who sent it all to me in South Africa. I put in new rings which was only available from a national online store Turfmaster.
Now the question is, which model am i working on? I need to know because I intend to make or buy decal stickers for it. My internet research show it could be Victa Mayfair or Monaro but I could be wrong. I include the serial number which is stamped on the top front side of the base. Maybe more information can be gleaned from it- SN 227 101 282. I include photos of the Victa.
PS. Thanks you Outdoorking for the treasure trove of useful information I got to get the Victa running again!
