just to clarify a point here chaps......when did the victa 2 stroke engine stop being made in Australia???
and who said it's being made in China???
Bruce would probably have a more exact idea of the timeline, but the casting and machining of the PowerTorque blocks was offshored to China before 2000, for sure. And it may have been as early as the mid 90's.
So since then Victa have only
assembled these engines here.
There are some telltale characteristics, like cylinder fin spacing, to tell them apart, as in the last post in
THIS thread.
