OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Early Victa Carby

Hi All, dont have a picture of it at the moment, but will put one up when i can.

I was wondering if anyone knows the model of the Victa Carby from before the 3F, the one that looks like a 3F, but with a cerclip holding the cap inside the throttle slide tube, rather than a clip comming up over it.

In this diagram, the first is the 3F, the second is the one i am looking to find the model number of, the thick dotted lone is the cerclip, the dotted section below that the blug the throttle cable runs through.




I beleive it was on the first Victa made engines, on the Rotomo's.

Is this the type of carby you were asking about.The smaller end is where the brass nut was fitted to it and went to the inlet on the bore.It came of the Model 1 Rotomo from 1955-56.I am fairly sure it was called a 3F as the paper work that I have seen calls it a (Carby Victa 3F).It was just known as the one with the cir-clip.

That's it!

But it seems to have a number of differences to the 3F, and i know when they made the intake mount of the 3f larger in the 60's they re-named it, so i'm curios as to why they dint re-name it the first time they changed it.

Its on my list of carby's to watch out for, this one, and the Victa 3Q and G2 Carby's are hard to get!!

I can't help you there.Maybe the big knobs were not trying to make it confusing.I mean internally they are the same and the basic body's are the same just different inlet's.There were many different size's of inlet's I think without going and checking I have about 3 to 4 different size inlet pipes on the 3F.Maybe I guess this particle carby was only used on the Model 1 with the brass nut.The brass nut was a complete flop.The carby would never stay tight enough.Many people changed to the bigger inlet size.They easier to tighten and stay tight I guess this is why it is so hard to find the brass nut's today.
