What next, discarded fat from a deep fryer? I vaguely recall a Victa instruction booklet saying not to use multigrade oil as the mix as it will shorten engine life.
I bought a mark iv 125 cc and the owner claimed he had used synthetic 2 stroke oil and it certainly had grunt comparable to a 160cc going through thick grass.
I have read somewhere that 2 stroke for outboard boats is not good for garden equipment, due to high ash or something.


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