OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Chrome Plated Piston Rings

Hi,

I was interested in Jack's historical article about Victa's move to chrome plated rings in 1964. Is that why the early Victa's from the 50's only had a short life? I thought it was the air filter or lack of it. I wonder if they used chrome plated rings in the Powertorques.

All the best
Jeff
