Yeah Chris, it hasn't done much work for its age. Wheels have plenty on them and bearings are nice and tight. Pete, the catcher is in reasonably good shape, one small crack on the lip but nothing to worry about for the money i paid for it or what i'll be selling it for. The side start models are a mixed bag, the earlier ones having points/condensor and the later ones having the module. A lot were changed over to electronis in years gone by and i still come across a few with points. I also come across a few cup starter type that have also been changed over to electronic.
Grumpy doesn't like Victa 2 strokes and tecumsehs for various reasons so he probably won't jump in here but yes, the well balanced full crank would contribute to longevity of the bearings in these machines.
