I always found the G4 set up gave the engine a high tech look, even if it was mostly an illusion.
The metal carby looks old fashioned in comparison but makes the engine sound abit more lively in character. The red tickler is definitely the highlight for me but squirting fuel onto the deck does look crude and would be totally unacceptable these days.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
