OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines The latest pick up - Sunbeam Victa

Saw this beast sitting outside in the rain it was missing the starter rope and plug so i picked it up. ( was on the nature strip so i didn't pinch it lol )

Replaced the rope and found a plug for it and shes a runner. Body is in excellent condition and engine starts within 3 pulls. It needs a new air cleaner housing as its shattered.

The wheels dont match but i have a set of grey ones to throw on as the front wheels seem abit small and make it nose down.

All it needs is a catcher and a starter handle ( got 1 in the garage ) and shes up for sale!

Good find, looks like its a good one

Hi Josh, on a good score!!

Thanks fellas.

Dont know anyone who has a catcher for it do you?

Good luck finding a catcher, I have a few very old victa ones but prying them from my cold dead fingers is another thing.

The old victa catchers can be hard to find.

Hmmm, ggod pick Josh, I think it has the wrong motor on the base doesn't it? Or maybe its an early one that I have not seen before.

nah MVC, I owuld say joshes one has had the original cowling break up, I have one myself and it is the same as yours, you are lucky thsat the orange plastic part is in one peice, I havent found one yet like that.

Thanks fellas.

I used it to do the lawns today. The thing runs really well. Apart from the throttle leaver vibrating back to slow because of a broken clip on the housing for it. Just need to find a catcher!!
