OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds Rover 2-Stroke XL

I have one here with a hole in the crank case.

I was keeping it for parts.
I will get one of these motors one day.
Being a Victa guy i just hope i dong love the Suzuki too much.


Bob.

I know the feeling Bob, and I will warn you, they are a pretty convincing engine.

I'm not about to part with either of the two I have!

I now have three of them I got one a week or so back with no wheels and no starter rope, it hasn't been run for a while but I think with a carb clean it would run well

Considering im a Suzuki guy, i doubt i will take much convincing.

Ok so I actually used one of mine for the first time today, the one I got just recently, I slapped on some wheels from an old rover 4 stroke off my scrap pile, put in a new rope, cleaned the carb out (these seem to like caking on dried out fuel in the bowl) cleaned out the jet and took her for a spin.

it runs smoother than a victa twin, took down any grass I threw at it without it even trying hard on the govenor and seems very economical.

My other one which I have used must need a good tune as this one is really good. It is one of the late model ones with the new steel type rover base.

Never having owned one of these Joe, is the engine manufactured by Rover, if not, what brand is it?

its made by suzuki... hence the big S on the cowling

Thanks Joe. I don't know how I missed it...must need new glasses...

They are a pretty powerfull machine Darryl, to be honest, Now that I have one of mine up, I doubt I'll be bothering to go ahead with my upgrade plans for the Psyco Slasher (The Mod Contessa In the photo Gallery, Whitch Redeye Gave Me)

I have not forund anything too hard fro it yet, It just takes on the long paddock grass as if it was mowing a suburban block!
