OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations VICTA 500 TWIN CYLINDER

Well i hope he gets back to you, that looks like just what you need to let Goliath live!

Yes it certainly does that's why i was prepare to pay more.

Did you pay for it when you won it, or have you at least still got the money if it goes belly up (if you win an auction, and it falls through, you can bring it up with ebay)

No still have the dollars.I told them cash on pick-up.

That's a plus then, still, i hope you hear back!

Yes I properly won't be going until a week or two,but still would like to arrange it.As I have 4 mowers to pick up from there now.Two won't be there until next Thursday so I properly won't go until the following Thursday.

What Mowers Are They?

Well of-course there's the spare Twin.A Victa Automatic and 2 four stroke turners.

Not a bad little lot either, how much more will you need to complete the Automatic?

A fair bit.I have the proper carby top,and the other parts I will properly never find.As it needs the front flap and the side guards.As rare as hens teeth.That was why when I seen this one I jumped at it.So that didn't really answer your question.What I need is the front flap and side guards.It doesn't have a cutting disc,but I'm sure I will have one here.If not there not hard to find.I can only wish of finding the rest of it.However when I get it (excited about that)I still will restore it,and hopefully one day I will find the rest.Fingers crossed.

I have seen bits for these every now and then, not often though, but i will make sure to mention to you is i see anyone selling bits for one.

And there is a starter on its own at tiny', over near the whip[per sippers, on the second lot of shelving, that may fit that turner.

Yeah I'm not sure what I'm doing with that one yet.I have found a Victa four star base as I'm going to make the Victa four star with it.Not sure if it is exactly the right engine,but it's close enough as they are hard to find as well.

Once you get the mower, it wont be to hard to work out if its the right engine, odds are, as you say, its close enough.

The cowl may be a little different, but that's something that can be fixed when you get the right cowl.

No the cowl looks the same the only thing is I need it to be Kirby Lauson engine (Which it looks very much like one) with a Walbro LMG 134 carby.Not sure what I just wrote took that straight out of the book,and something about an L engine.Don't know if that's right either.It looks fairly close to it thought.

L-Head engine?

I have heard that term before, i think its something to do with Valve positioning, but i'm not sure!

Two Twin engines now on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180690269289&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en
So that a good little purchase for somebody there.

Wow, wish i was that lucky bastard!

[Censored] they went quick.I think they weren't even on there for an hour.

Wooo Hooo got the twin working.Or should I say I got it to rev.The only problem is.In the start position it revs and when it goes to run it idles.It must be from opposite land.What on earth have I done wrong?

I would start by having a fiddle with this adjustment screw:
