OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Victa Walk-Behind Rotary Mowers Red hot little 125cc Victa

Hi all just trying a few things out on an old Victa 125 engine..I shaved the head heaps haha and did some porting.Just have to get new rings and give it a hone...Anyway will see how it goes not sure what base i will stick it on yet...

Beautiful work as usual, more power to ya!!

Cool,Something for fun,Did you take a measurement of the head reduction and the trans port increase and open up the jet to suit? Try some cart fuel now,should get her going,lols.

Thanks...Yeah it's just abit of fun I like tinkering and fixing things..Did i take measurement of anything no I just used (that looks about right) haha, but i did try and not change the port timing to much mostly I just went wider with ports...I will be advancing the timing by about 10 degrees..And I have a few mods to do to the carby yet but if all goes well it should run fine on 98... Cheers Chris...

Looking good !! carnt wait to see it all assembled !

Yes, I will second that! Very nice work mate, great attention to detail.

I'm just waiting on rings apart from that the engine is just about done...Here are a few pics Cheers Chris..

In one word.....Awesome!!

Rocket red,I could stick that in my HT! It would probably go faster too....Nice Work.

Thanks guy's... Yeah the little red rocket lol...I helped my bother restore a HT premier with the factory 307 Chevy years ago nice old Holden...Sadly i dont think the HT drivetrain could take the horsepower of the little red rocket Victa! lol just joking.....Cheers

Ok as for the base i've got it sorted I think this should do....Just a few mods and all should be sweet!...Yep this mower will be a bit of this and a bit that! Thanks for looking Cheers Chris...

So it is to become the "Hot Little Red Ute!!

haha not bad I think so...To tell the truth Deejay I dont know what it will be Im kind of making It up as I go along and using up parts....

Still alot of work to do but im getting there..Im waiting on new rings, points and condenser...It's starting to look good now here are some pics....

In two words....Red hot!!

Now that is looking really special !!! Just keep us updated on the progress ,

Hi guys not much of a update ive not had much time to work on it but its getting there...

Awesome!

I cant wait to see it running!

Not long now and we will be cooking with gas lol...The little bugger sure has some compression..

bloody bailin twine
mmmmmmmarvlous stuff yeah
amasing how much damage it can do once wrapped around a motor drive sharft or spindle
and you can weare to the cows come home youve never run over any but check under the deck and youll find some there even in suburbia

Yep that one was how i got it from the tip and man what a mess!!..Id say that twine and crap was the cause and therefore the death of that old 125 it could not be saved! lol.....

Hi all I'm just about done with the little red hot 125, so much for abit of fun its been alot of work haha....Just working on modifying the muffler and thats about it.Cant wait to fire the beast up. cheers Chris..

Hi Im done modifying the muffler saved cutting the deck and it will flow better as well,The outlet I made is also a baffle not just a straight thru outlet I dont want to go deaf mowing haha.Im also making a heat shield for the fuel tank, I dont want to risk it getting hot as its a plastic tank..Cheers Chris

again Chris, your attention to detail is just awesome!

Well done nice piece of work there. Far from standard. Is it running yet? I would love to see a YouTube clip of it. Good work.

Thanks guys,yep its ready to run just needs fuel... I will wait tell the weekend and make a vid of the 1st time I fire it up.Im betting 2nd pull lol... Cheers Chris

Ok we will wait. Hope it doesn't need a special fuel with more bang.
