Recently picked up this Victa super 600 and chasing some general information.
I take it to be a 70s series super 600? It was said to have been stored for 8 years or so and not run at all during that time.
I havnt had a crack at trying to start it yet. Need to sort the spark plug cap and get an air filter and cap for the snorkel.
Assuming any generic spark plug cap will suit? Ill raid the local tip shop and metal shop for a snorkel cap and filter and Im sure Ill find something. Looks the same as both the other mowers I have.
As can be seen in the photos The side discharge flap is gone. The lever on the heigh adjust is missing its cover. I've also generally hit some of the bolts with some innox aswell which can be seen in some of the photos. Usual oil gunk at the base of the motor.
Generally how do these models rate compared to the 80s series power torques?
Side crank is new to me entirely. Cant say I've seen it on a mower before. any tips for getting it running again?
If it cant be started, how easy is it to transition to a honda 4 stroke 5 horse like the photo of the attached 80 series
I'm a bit of a fan of these old 2 strokes. I have a victa commando and old victa 160 utility mower and currently run the new mulchmaster commercially.
