There is a list of models here if you haven't already seen them https://www.vintagemowers.net/Victa_Specials.php

With the engine numbers the early ones were 1 to 360,000 roughly then they used letters like A ,AA, AAA, B. BB ,BBB,C,
D,with numbers after the letters

These are probably the easiest mowers to work on , set the float height , clean and adjust the points, set the timing ,
check the plug gap , clean the carby out ,buy carby gaskets ,fuel tap o rings on eBay.

Thanks so much! That workshop manual helps a lot, very much appreciated.

Mine has the short pod style choke/air filter. One of the lower tabs and choke switch is missing, the rubber hose turned to dust. The machine came with a replacement hose but it doesn't quite look right. It also came with a filter but its horrid, the manual says you can't clean it, so I'm not sure what I'll do there.

I did order a long tube and filter housing, so hopefully that will work with this engine?

New aftermarket snorkels are available online. I'd be keeping that original filter housing if I were you they are hard to find with the VICTA logo, the later version didn't have the VICTA stamped on it.

The blade carrier you have pictured was used on the earlier rotomo model, the special had a different blade carrier.
