Hello again
The Sunbeam Lawnkeeper 160 I use is a 74 with light green low profile deck, the dark (Brunswick?) green metal cowl and the matching ST12418A style zip starter.
The one I'm fiddling with, and trying to colour match, has a 71 engine with the brown/chocolate deck and the (Chevy?) orange metal cowl with matching ST12518A style starter.
I have seen a number of photos on ODK and elsewhere of Sunbeams with the "orange" plastic cowl and "usual" ST12506A (Sunbeam VM27665) zip. The starter housing or assembly part numbers may be their Victa, they seem to vary depending on the model and date, even though they look the same.
Both have a colour matched? (Victa Model 15) Sunbeam LM027-U-8 ? catcher.
I don't know their VictaCode or equivalents.
My attempts, so far, to colour match have yielded some similarity to Colorbond Loft or Monument, but as I am somewhat fussy, I will keep looking.
