OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations My Green VC-Sports

I was sent to Batemans Bay today to deliver a huge stack of Tyers and 2 pallets.While I was there I decided to pick up 2 of my mowers.The VC-160 and the Green VC-Sports.I haven't had a good look yet at them,but I did notice that the VC-Sports has a G4 carby on it.Not sure if it suppose to have that or not.Let me know what you guys think.here are some pictures of her.





As you will see the base is stuffed worse that I thought.The closer picture of the carby you can see a hole there which is part of the grass shute.Trying to work on a way to solve the base issue.

I reckon some epoxy or metal filler is the go there!

No it's far to buggered and to much like hard work.No what I've come up with is the purple sports has only a small dent and a small chunk missing.So I'm going to get that fixed.The guys at Baxter Engineering will have no problems with that.I have got another orange sports base from Joe and I will use that base for the green fellow.

Well.... if you go ahead with that, can you keep an eye out for a decent spare cowling, I might build the green one here up myself Also need the handle bar clamp that goes in the middle..

Pretty sure that g4 belongs on there, my one has it as well, a prmierless type.

I have a black clamp lever and bar you can have, maybe even the bolt too!

It's the clamp with the white lever form the VC-160's i'm after!

Yes well I think that's the best way to go with the bases.I know it doesn't really matter,after it's painted,but I would like to use the purple base.I do believe it is repairable.It's only the little bit at the front.The rest is fairly good.

Cool, I spos I had better keep one sports, Hopefully the monaro stickers turn out as good as I hope and then I can make some really good vc sports ones

Good I'd like to see them if they turn out.

Thats a mk4 motor and it should have that carb.


How many green bases do you want???

That one is pretty shagged.


My bad, sports base wont have the screw holes the mustang has.


Ive got a couple of orange sports here.

Yes Ty came around the other day and he'd also told me it was the right carby.Yeah base is stuffed but I have that covered.

OK this old girl has now been stripped base thrown into the scrap pile.Rest of mower has been put into a create and stored for future restore.Once I have sorted out a base for it.Currently an orange base.Then it will be restored.It just has to wait many to be done before it.
