Hi all,

I just wanted to say how good the 160 full cranks are. I pulled my utility out after 12 months of no use, fuel tank was dry as a bone. Added some fresh fuel, 1 prime, gentle half pull and it fired up straight away. I was thinking about getting rid of it as I have no real use for it now, but it will stay in the collection.

Cheers,

John

I was waiting for someone to sing the praises of a Victa FC

So, If anyone wants a running Full Crank in SA it's here to take as I have absolutely no need for it. It comes on a complete mower but really this is all about the engine as the rest is merely a bonus.

Cheers,
BB.

Pity I'm not closer BB, I would be all over it, just not worth the cost of driving over to pick it up.

Power a push bike with it.


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

MF,
why waste your time fitting a crappy old 2 stroke to a push bike when you can do this.

That guy has a death wish or what?
I've always imagined what it'd be like to have a jet turbine on a Victa.

4.8 second quarter mile is pretty good going. I wonder who worked out that spoked wheels would not distort at that speed and who rated the tyres for it.
