OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines 1974 Victa VC160 Mark 3 Throttle Connections

Hi Bruce and all

Firstly thanks for the great service with the parts I ordered, they arrived today and seem great. I just have a question regarding how to connect the throttle cable to both the on/off switch and the carby I cannot seem to get the cable to attach to the switch on the handle The attachment to the carby seems easier, the mower has a metal G3 carby and the throttle cable runs seperate form the snorkel.
Does anyone know what colour green the VC160 Mark 3 Victas are Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi VC Victa,

Good to hear that you got the the parts ok and in good order.

As to fitting the cable to the throttle control it is not that hard but you need a bit of patients when fitting it. What I usually do is extend the cable towards the throttle control end and then put it through the hole in the metal lever before attempting to connecting to the carby.

I am not sure of the colour green the paint is but I am sure that some of the members should be able to put some light onto it for you.

Hope that this was of some help to you.

Cheers Bruce all connect properly.

on getting it done.
