hi all
looking at buying a new mower (i have 6 and none work)
my 15 year old victa vortex needs a engine overhaul ( rings are shot)
Geez mate, if the body and catcher are still decent and you don't want to go to the trouble of stripping down the motor, just bid on the myriad of Victa 2 strokes with that awful steel body on Ebay.and simply transfer the motor over onto your alloy decked Vortex. It's quite easy to do. Don't spend $$$$ on a fancy four stroke when you have a presumably great Victa body to whack another 2 stroke onto!!!! It's the body that is usually the weakest link with a Victa. Many would love to be in a position of having a shot motor and good chassis.
