Hi everyone Have been reading ODK forums for several months, it has certainly been a great help. I hope I have managed to post this in the right part of the forum. I just picked up a 125 edger from the tip shop the other day, and have got it running well. No bore/piston scoring, just needed points cleaned and set, about 1 kg of grease scrubbed out of the cooling fins and cowling, the fuel (which judging by the odd smell and colour was probably BP Zoom) drained, and of course a carby check and new snorkel.
I am trying to work out if the edger was made by victa or if its just the engine. It has the series 70 mark 2 engine, and it seems strange to me that it early 70's (1972?), a Victa product wouldn't use their own wheels, the ones on it are made by olympic. I have seen a couple of similar edgers online, and they seem to all be in Western Australia. My 1965 Alroh Imp edger also uses a very similar tyre, and since that one is WA made, I am thinking that maybe this one is victa engined, on a frame made by a WA firm. Any thoughts? I cant find much info on this model.
Also, with the 3s carby (i think thats what it is), do the 2 screws on the side adjust anything, or are they just to lock the interior parts in position and alignment? I know G4/LM ones quite well, but this is the first old Victa i have worked on.
