OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Victa full crank engines

Hi fellas, there is plenty of talk here about these motors but no pics on identifying them. Before I trash the motor I have, silly question, how do I tell if it is a full crank motor? Does it mean that the big end doesn't screw off to release the con rod and piston??

I am taking my engine to a mechanic so they can assess the damage to see if I should spend the dosh for a rebuild.

I know I seem to have the earliest of the barrel cooling fins. I take it there are three types, the thicker close fins, the thicker spaced fins then the thin very spaced out fins which most here say are the Chinese donks?? I have the former.

The full crank engine has a alloy crankcase in 2 halves to which the cast iron cylinder attaches to. The later half cranks use a 1 piece cast iron engine block

Thanks Big H

Sounds interesting, does anyone have a picture of this motor?

Cheers

This is one.

Thanks Bob. I'll search to see if there is any one striped down.

Are parts still readily available for these older motors?
