Sorry for the radio silence fellas - I'm out of town so posting on the run.

Regarding the Powerhouse example, I agree entirely with the "bitsa" assessment - it just seems far too mixed up to offer anything tangible to the record....though here are a couple of observations:

* Painted axle housings indicating an early production
* Still has front axle housing tag that (just informed) tells the purchaser how to adjust the height.
* Looks also to have come straight off the production line

My interpretation is that it probably did come from the Victa factory, as demonstrated by the axle tag, and was probably intended as a display model made from left over parts - however inaccurate. As Blue said, it offers little to our collective knowledge, but is interesting none the less. Lets leave it covered in dust - as it belongs

Blue, fantastic post on the starter knob/assembly. We could do well to have detailed images of component parts such as yours, to better articulates the variations. Those images off the other thread of the starter housing variations would be great on this thread!

Earlier, we touched on what the correct choke is for the Auto - case closed?:

Smiley face choke it is - at least on the early models - Blue was right again!This Diagram from the User Manual also confirms the correct fuel tap style, so two birds with one stone on this one.



One thing I've noticed is a variation in the "big nuts" on the handlebar. There appears to be three types, the last of which can be seen on many Specials:

Type 1:




Type 2:
