Hey bazz,
Yeah shiny is good...was gonna polish the cowl too but cant justify the time. Think polish dogleg and green cowl then send her of to market! Thanks for the input.
Dont look to hard for discernable differences. Tiger was victas industrial/marine spinoff which started I believe around 1957. Prior to this the rotomo engine was used in varying.configurations but sold under the victa brand. Anyways essentially they are model 4 engines with industrial applicable fittings.ie adjust able carbs bracketey and air filter styles. The early tiger engine was stamped tiger" in place of Victa" on the crankase and the serial sequence was not inline with the lawn mower run. Around 1960 they just let them blank. Essentially its the same engine as your mower variety just without the Victa brand. Tiger sold engines for industrial/marine,applictions and also for generic or store brand mowers eg, Hg palmer. So to answer your.question. Its basically the same engine...no real difference other than the ommission of any victa logo on the crankcase and they only ran the model 2 or 3 barrel assy to suit the bun style or clamp on muffler.
