OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Victa Lawn Mower Frames dunno what it is ?

Hi Joe, I find it strange that Victa would make a muffler and use it for only a couple of applications....maybe it is as you say....a standard muffler with a hole punched in it....that seems to make more sense, doesn't it.

Well the engines would have been used on a few models.

Power Plus
Power Plus Self propelled
Super 600
Not sure what else.


If the std motor is say 3.5hp
If a few simple mods will get it up to 4hp, more compression and a less restrictive muffler.

I'm sure I have a head here somewhere, I'll dig it up and photograph, from what i have heard, the muffler is slightly different inside, basically it is tuned somewhat to the higher compression.

Cool thanks Ty that's a start now I still would like to see the parts not a drawing.

I have a seized power plus here, i might pull it down just to have a look.

Cool that would be good Joe.I think I gave one to Ty (well the engine) but I never looked at it.I wished I had looked now.

Check your messages mate.

Hi Joe, did you ever get a chance to pull the seized power plus down and check it out?

hello again , another question ! anyone know of a VC Mustang S ! looks like the one blumby put up here before but this one has a remote primer , very similar to the ones pictured here . does the lm carby have no primer bulb and a remote primer ? sorry but i havnt seen one before only bought it because i like the other on i have , it was soooo filthy i didnt see it properly and looks like someone tried to run it on muddy water ! haha never seen fuek so dirty , has spark but wont run the throttle clicks when moved a problem in the carb i think .. oops the best i can find on it is , 108 770 2350 and on the fan cowl series 70 MARK 4 ? base looks great but a lot of paint fell off . thanks Dave

Have you got any pictures of it.The engine number does match the VC-Sports number and it was made in 1977.Mark 4 would match the year.You are right with a remote primer there was no bulb on the carby.As for the one's I have pictured they are VC-Sports.There was a different variants of them.I haven't herd of what you are talking about so I would love to see some pictures of it.It does sound like a VC-Sports,Mustangs have different engine numbers such as 110,111 and so on.

sorry about that , i didnt have camera here , but here's two , more if you need ? you can just make out the S at the bottom of the sticker i hope seems it should run though , good spark but full of crap in the tank . it must be the most common problem ever !! and then they just throw them away . thanks for the reply blumby . Dave

Now thats an odd one to keep an eye out for

is it odd ? why's that joe , thought it was just a VC but then saw the "S" , hahaha do you havto run behind it ? geeeez i hope not i'm not designed for running anymore Dave ooooh and the cowl seems uuuuuuuum stuffed , but i'll try my old weling skills on it n see unless i find a better one

Still can't see it properly.Could you pull the camera back and maybe take some full shots of it.There to close to make any real judgements on it.

It's actually quite odd, Ive seen one of these before, but it was so long ago I'd forgotten they existed.

The Mustang 'S' actually looks more like a VC-Sports than a VC-Mustang.

Acording to my books, it's run was 76-78, and it was coded V207.

Series 70 MKIV 160cc Eengine, with a G4 carby, and the remote primer setup (also seen on some mustangs) To my knowledge it was not the power plus, but I will have another look tonight to see if i can pin that down more.

The chassis and cowl are that of a VC-Sports, with a darker green paint by memory, and a white dress cowl (as shown above)

I have a feeling the 'S' refers to Mustang "Sports" however that is unconfirmed.

I'll try tonight but its reeeeeeeealy faded though , and it looks the same green as others seen here. Might get the modified catcher too ! amazing what people do to them huh ! All it will do i think is blow dust n dirt everywhere . pic's soon... . Done. Might help but still can ooooonly just see the "S" and looks the same as my orange one I think ? But a trained eye can tell more thanks again guys

Hi Dave, you're right there mate, it is really faded...however, one of our members here; willing worker (Grant) has been having great success at duplicating stickers and decals. You may care to send him a PM and see what he could do for you. Maybe then you could look for a serviceable cowling and replace the stickers...It would then come up a treat!

thanks deejay , i did pm him before poor guy must be busier than me !! might be able to ge the cowl looking something like right though i havnt needed to or had the interest for a while now but i like a challenge hahaha . again thanks i'll see how it turns out but hard to get the texture right .. Dave

The cowling would be the same as a lot of others just the different sticker ? Had a few kicks from it but starter cup is so worn it wont pull properly. It seems to have a lot of compression, does that happen if the 'decomp' is not working ? Dave
