Err, well yeah maybe. The sticking point is finding a G2 body that doesn't have flogged out governor vane and butterfly shaft bores. Fully complete G2's aren't exactly thick on the ground, either.

While boring/rebushing is likely technically feasible, that'd require a very high skill level, and a decent machine shop setup.

There was good reason the G3 came out when it did and remained as long as it did. The plastic carby that became the G4 was probably already planned when the G3 came out.


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