OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Victa power torque head with no decompression

Hi and greetings from Cairns FNQ, found this at the local tip buy back shop, and was wondering how common these are as I've never seen one before, it from 1999 and i thought all power torque engines from 84 onwards had a decompression valve on them

They are around I have come across a few of those myself. I guess just to cheap to put one on. Also you will like it here.

It was a budget cut for thecheaper line of victa 2 strokes, along with that you will find they went back to the small air filter housings and several other deleted/cheaper parts.

what was 1999 a bad year for victa

No they were just a cheaper mower.They still had the ones with everything on them.They just made cheaper versions.

Yes, welcome Carvara, they were fairly common around 1999-2000. They disontinued them shortly after that. They most commonly came out on budget versions more likely sold through the larger retailers and appeared primarily on the red "vantage" models of the era.

Yeh, that's right i do remember the old red and rust hole ridden deck it came off had the remains of a vantage sticker on it and as i said it was a tip find and seemed like no one there even wanted it so thought what hell 5 bucks it looked different

Hi carvara, and a warm welcome to the forum. It's great to have you aboard.
I hope you find the forum informative.
Once again, to OutdoorKing.
